Biden and Bloomberg are in Selma this morning. Any other candidates down there? They....

...will be participating in the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in a little while.

Wish John Lewis could be there, too.

but I didn't know where Selma was.

It's location wasn't the first, top hit on google either.

Had to actually scroll way down the page.

Selma, Alabama.

Just thought that if you were not sure where Selma was , you were of a much younger generation.. Selma is burned into the brain of those of us of a certain age..

...and there were like at least five or so in Alabama. I can't remember all of them -- I know there was Biden and Bloomberg for sure -- and I couldn't figure out why so many would be in that one particular state today, but I didn't realize that march was taking place today.
