Bloody Sunday

Last Sunday was the 45th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday. I think that it is crazy what happened to the people. They stated that the people were ran over by cars and hit with night sticks. These people were not doing anything that was going to harm others by having a march. All that they wanted to do was have the people hear what they had to say. They had no weapons on them they just wanted a peaceful protest. When I think about it, its crazy what these people had to do for us to be able to vote. The discrimination against these people was not needed. I believe that people should always put there selves into other people shoes. Would the people that did the harm to these people like it if the same thing happened to them.
When you think about it we have come a very long way. Everyone is able to vote as long as they are the age. If you walk into a class room you see all types of races attending the same school. We even have our first ever black president. Some times we will think that we have not come too far, but when you really think about it we have come very far. All races are able to vote and laws equal for each race. There is no law just for blacks or white or Puerto Ricans everyone is equal under the law.
