Follow ing the success o f the
Humanitas Award-winning movie
“Ruby Bndges,” “The W onderful
W orld of Disney " brings another gal
vanizing civil right story to life with
"Selma, Lord, Selma."The two-hour
movie is based upon two little girls’
memories o f the intamous and violent
Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama
during the tumultuous American civil
rights movement o f the 1960s. The
dramatization, starting Mackenzie
Astin (‘The Long Island Incident"),
Jumee Smollett (“Eve’s Bayou”),
Clifton Powell ("Deep Rising”) and
Yolanda King (“Ghosts o f Missis
sippi”), airs on “The W onderful W orld
ofDisney” on Sunday, Jan u ary 17,7
PM (ET/PT)on ABC.
Astin, Smollet and Powell along
with Yolanda King, the daughter o f
civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., star in this poignant drama
based on the true story o f the many
freedom fighters who organized a black
voter registration march amidst south
ern violence, hatred, racial prejudice
and the ever-present threat o f the Ku
Klux Kian. Two African American
schoolgirls, Sheyann Webb (Smollett)
and Rachel West (Stephanie Peyton),
are astonished when the Reverend Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (Powell) ar
rives in their town with young semi
nary student Jonathan Daniels (Astin)
to organize a series o f black voter
registration marches. The first sign of
danger comes when a burning cross is
placed in the front yard o f the local
black church and then again when
marchers are arrested on their way to
the voter registration office in Selma.
Despite her parents’ concern for
the danger involved, 11-year-old
Sheyann felt it was necessary and
important to participate in Dr.King’s
movement She and her friend Rachel
were two o f the youngest participants
in the march which brought about
such an important change in America’s
way oflife. Because ofthe many people
who risked and lost their lives, the
Voting Rights Act was signed into law
by President Lyndon B. Johnson, and
the journey toward African- American
freedom began.

Dr. King often spoke of the “Beloved Community.” The
“Beloved Community” is a safe haven, which The Urban
League of Portland has been designated. The “Beloved
Community” and the safe haven encourage and support
“economic power, by leveling the playing field.” In the
spirit and philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., The
Urban League of Portland continues his work daily
through our mission, which is “to strengthen African
Americans and all who strive toward economic self-
reliance and social equality.”
