Another attempt to change the name of the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma — has failed once again.
The lettering on the iconic bridge would have remained the same. But a separate sign would have been added — to honor the foot soldiers of 1965. “I am in full support. Because it’s going to serve as a constant reminder. The bridge in itself serves as a constant reminder of what went down here,” said Luis Mendoza of Jersey City, NJ.“As long as you’re not changing the Edmund Pettus part of it, said Randy Myricks of Tampa, FL.
