- Presidential hopeful Cory Booker told a service commemorating the 1965 “Bloody Sunday” march, a turning point in the civil rights movement, that the United States is still failing many Americans, citing poverty and gun violence as constant threats.
“We live in a nation that is failing its moral obligations to its children, to its people,” Booker said in a short speech at a church near the bridge in Selma, Alabama, where civil rights activists were attacked more than half a century ago. Every year, the “Bloody Sunday” anniversary is marked by demonstrators marching across the bridge, many of them singing “We Shall Overcome.”“But I worry now that we are at a point in our country where we see a moral vandalism that is attacking our ideals and beliefs and eroding the dream of our nation,” he said.
