The Rev. Joseph Lowery, the march organizer, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson criticized Reagan administration foreign and domestic policies as the 50-mile march commemorating "Bloody Sunday" began. "We've marched too far to be turned back now. We've died too young to let a California cowboy turn back the clock," said Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. "WE'RE NOT MARCHING just for the rieht to vote " Jackson said. "We want the right to save our farms, the right to eat, the right to health care, the right to peace, the right to i justice." A Police estimated that about 2,000 marchers began the ; memorial Sunday by crossing the Edmund Pet t us Bridge, ? where black demonstrators were assaulted in 1965. The march ends Thursday with a rally at the state Capitol. Also participating were Corctta Scott King, widow of Martin Luther King Jr., and Atlanta City Councilman John Lewis, who was clubbed in the head during the aborted march 20 years ago.

In the 20 years since, the number of black elected officials in the 11 Southern states has grown from fewer then 100 to more than 4,000, according to the Atlanta-based Voter Education Project, which organized the anniversary event along with the LI SC I C. I1 The number of registered black voters in the 11 states has E climbed from about 2.5 million to more than 5.5 million, according to project officials. "We have come a long, long, way." Lowery said. "But we have a long, long way to go." ON MARCH 7, 1965, a day thai became known as "Bloody Sunday" in civil rights movement annals, troopers and mounted deputies clubbed and routed some 600 marchers ai the bridge. I wo weeks later. King arrived with a federal court order and National Guardsmen to lead a successful march to ?> * juiiitu uy several tnousanu macks and many whiles from across the country. l' Saying "we have unfinished business," Jackson called Selma "hallowed ground" and said Sunday's demonstration } was "to resurrect the spirit of our struggle." ( In contrast to the violence of 1965, the march Sunday was [ marked by gestures of racial friendship, it begna at Brown Chapel, a landmark of the 1965 protests. During services in- ? I side the church, Lowery and Jackson each were presented a key to the city from Selma's.white mayor, Joe Smitherinan. Smitherman, who acknowjcdged that lie opposed the mar- ; chers when he was mayoi 20 years ago. sat beside Jackson during services at the chapel and shared a hymnal with him as they I >ang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." _ | 7 SPRING BREAK SPECIAL?. | _ SUNGLASSES 1 I ^ I 1 I "ra"" # ' li Your Choice $3.?? .
