Today was a very powerful day. Walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge broke me. Just the thought of human beings being beaten and murdered at the very place where my feet stood made tears fall from my eyes. Also, hearing the stories of people who were active during the Civil Rights Movement made me appreciate the movement more than I ever have before. They sacrificed themselves so that the future could be better but they didn't even know us. Today hit me hard.
