The 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.
