Subject: Ithaca College Student Journalists to Cover the 50th Anniversary of
Selma for NBC News

 

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
