President Obama will be in Selma, Alabama - yes, Alabama! - Saturday, March 7. Over 100,000 are already expected to be present for this 50th anniversary remembrance of 'Bloody Sunday.' This is your chance to witness history!

Lots of informative links at the following al.com link.

From USA Today:

WASHINGTON –Ninety-five members of Congress will make a civil rights pilgrimage to Alabama next month, record attendance for the annual event organized by the Faith and Politics Institute.

The delegation of House members and senators will spend March 6-8 in Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma and Marion for the 50th anniversary of the historic voting rights marches in 1965. President Barack Obama will join them on March 7 in Selma to commemorate Bloody Sunday, when state troopers attacked marchers as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge on their way to Montgomery to demand voting rights for African-Americans.

Thinking in terms of traffic in the area.
Wonder where Air Force One is going to land?
