ROANOKE, Va. – Sunday marked the 56th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr’s “Bloody Sunday” march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge into Selma for voting rights. About a hundred people honored his actions by marching over the Roanoke bridge that bears his name. The march over the Martin Luther King, Jr. Bridge was led by Dr. King’s old organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Roanoke chapter president Dr. Perneller Chubb-Wilson recounted her experiences fighting with Dr. King for civil rights during Sunday’s event. “I’ve been fighting ever since 1963, when Martin Luther King was in Danville, Virginia,” Chubb-Wilson told a crowd at the base of Dr. King’s statue.
