Children marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge along with 1K Women Strong during the Children’s Sojourn/Youth Freedom March on March 7.
Selma High School, Southside High School, Eagles Landing Christian Academy of McDonough, Georgia, Martin Middle School and Wilcox County High School attended the march.
