Colia Clark has been nominated to receive a Freedom Flame Award at the annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee in Selma, Alabama on March 5, 2011.
As we announced at the SNCC Reunion 2010, the theme for this year’s Jubilee is “Celebrating Our Youth and the Spirit of SNCC.” The Jubilee commemorates Bloody Sunday, the day that Alabama State Troupers attacked peaceful marchers for the right to vote on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and celebrates the Voting Rights Movement and passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
We will give tribute to Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. Other Freedom Flame nominees include Dorothy Dewberry Aldridge, Marion Barry, Margaret Brock, John Doar, Lawrence Guyot, Frank Holloway, Johnny Jackson, Bob and Janet Moses, Silas Norman and Ruby Sales. Youth nominees include John Legend and Wyclef John.
The Jubilee falls on the first week of March each year. This year it will be held March 3-7, 2011 with over 30 events throughout the week. Please find attached a Jubilee tentative schedule. The Alabama Tourism Department deems the Jubilee as one of the top ten Alabama events with thirty to forty thousand people from across the Country converging on Selma each year. Each year, the Freedom Flame Awards Ceremony and Banquet is filled to capacity.
