Vice President Kamala Harris will return to Selma this Sunday for the 2024 Bridge Crossing Jubilee. The Vice President will be speaking at the Bridge and making the sacred Bloody Sunday March. She will be joining tens of thousands in attending the Annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee, which is the largest annual civil rights gathering in the nation.

Former Senator Hank Sanders said: “Vice President Harris previously attended the Jubilee as Vice President two years ago. She has also attended the Martin and Coretta King Unity Breakfast at the Jubilee as a U.S. Senator before she was elected Vice President. As the first woman vice president and the first African American vice president, Harris stands on the shoulders of those who sacrificed for voting rights in Selma and across the county. Harris stands on the shoulders of other women, and she is opening doors for other women.”

“United States Attorney General Merrick Garland, the highest law enforcement in the country, will be making his first trip to the Annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee in Selma this year. The Attorney General plays a key role in protecting voting rights throughout the United States,” Sanders said.

Also, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for Civil Rights will be making her second trip to Selma this year for the Jubilee. She is one of the national speakers at the Annual Martin & Coretta King Unity Breakfast on Sunday at Wallace Community College Selma. The Unity Breakfast is from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and features a strong slate of national and international speakers, including Martin Luther King, III; Congressman Jim Clyburn; U.S. Senator Laphonza Butler, NAACP Legal Defense Fund President Janai S. Nelson; the Rev. Dr. William Barber; Coumba Toure Ba from Senegal, West Africa; Tennessee State Representative Gloria Johnson; and many others.

The Annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee features dozens and dozens of events, which began on Monday, February 26th and run through Sunday, March 3rd. There is something for everyone at this year’s Jubilee, including Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech at the Bridge and Attorney General Merrick Garland’s participation in the Bridge Crossing Jubilee.
