This is great. Selma is my home. I lived through the struggle and will be there for Bloody Sunday. I am currently on sabbatical and writing about civil rights and the movement in Selma. See the links below for some pieces I have done. Thank you, -pearlie strother-adams*

To All,
I am about to write my PF&R column for the History Division newsletter. My focus is going to be on the importance of educators embracing the responsibility of teaching history so that all sides of the story can be appreciated. Dr. James Rada and Dr. Marquita Smith will be mentioned in this column. Dr. George Daniels (Alabama) will also be mentioned in my column. George gave me the idea to focus on the responsibility of teaching history so that all stories are embraced.
Thanks to everyone for the role you have and continue to play in being responsible journalism and mass communications educators.
I'm excited about my column!
Thanks,
Lillie

Hello all;
Just wanted to share some exciting news with you...
As some of you may know, in 2013 NBC News provided some student-journalists from Ithaca College with an incredible opportunity when we partnered with them to cover the 50th Anniversary of The March on Washington.
Well, this weekend I will accompany six student-journalists from Ithaca College as we travel to Alabama to cover the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday - the first attempt by Civil Rights marchers to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.
We will be covering the weekend's events for NBC Nightly News and NBCnews.com<http://nbcnews.com/>
In addition, on Sunday March 8th, we will stream live coverage of the march reenactment through one of NBC's online web platforms. You can watch the live stream at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEL8OIDUL5w
And you can follow us the entire weekend on twitter: #icparkselma50
Regards
JR
