"The racial violence of the past is largely gone, replaced by a
flood of drug-related, black-on-black crime that dwarfs the
violence of Jim Crow." -- New York Times, 8-2-1994 Every year,
elected officials at the federal and state level along with
celebrities, make the pilgrimage to now 80% black Selma, Alabama to
recreate the famed march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Paying
homage to the Civil Rights struggle, this march is highly
publicized and promoted by the mainstream media, Hollywood and
public schools to produce maximum volumes of white guilt across
America, reminding them they must forever atone for their ancestors
inequities. But once the cameras leave and the marching ends, what
remains behind in the city of Selma, completely dominated by black
elected/appointed officials is a reminder of the collective fears
the architects of Jim Crow and restrictive covenants long held for
their posterity. "The Truth About Selma" provides the reality of
what the Civil Rights struggle actually brought to the city.
