             African-Americans Seek Economic Opportunities in Selma

   by Chris Simkins

   Thousands of people are gathering in Selma, Alabama Saturday to
   commemorate the 50th anniversary of a historic voting rights march. The
   1965 event, known as 'Bloody Sunday,' cast a spotlight on racial
   discrimination and the plight of million of African-Americans denied
   the right to vote in parts of the South. VOA's Chris Simkins reports
   from Alabama that decades after civil rights battles in Selma and
   surrounding communities the focus has shifted to economic priorities.
