Kentucky State Senator Gerald Neal invited Together Frankfort to participate in the Selma Reenactment March for Voting Rights to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the crossing of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, AL.
The March will occur simultaneously with the reenactment in Selma, Alabama and will emphasize voting rights and the importance of removing barriers to voting. For more information, contact Senator Gerald Neal, email Gerald.Neal@lrc.ky.gov or call (502)564-8100, extension 807 and ask for Annette Poole-Malone. For information & to register with Together Frankfort’s participation in the march, log in on Facebook.
Together Frankfort had previously scheduled a screening of the movie, Dark Money, at this same time. We will reschedule the film for a future date which will be announced here, on Facebook, and through email.
