Cory Booker to deliver address at Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee

Cory Booker to deliver address at Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination will deliver a keynote address at Historic Brown Chapel AME Church in Selma on March 3 as part of the annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee, commemorating 1965's Bloody Sunday.

Booker will be one of several Democrats attending the annual event, which frequently draws national political figures, particularly Democrats.

The Rev. Leodis Strong, pastor of Historic Brown Chapel AME Church, said in a statement released by the Booker campaign that the candidate had "dedicated his life to paying forward the deeds and sacrifices of the Selma generation."

"When so many of our leaders traffic in the currencies of fear and division, Sen. Booker’s message of love and courageous empathy is precisely what we need to hear as we tackle the challenges that our generation must now confront,” the statement said.
