UP campus to host
talk, documentary
Sister Antona Ebo, a Franciscan nun who marched across the
Selma Bridge in 1965, will speak at the University of Portland after
the showing of the PBS documentary “Sisters of Selma” on
Tuesday, Oct. 4.
The film will be shown at 7 p.m. in Room 163 of Buckley Center
on campus, 5000 N. Willamette Blvd. Ebo will answer questions
following the viewing. The event, free and open to the public, is
hosted by the Garaventa Center for Catholic Intellectual Life and
American Culture.
Ebo responded in 1965 to Rev. Martin Luther King’s nationwide
invitation to join in marching across A labama’s Selma Bridge
following the police brutality of “Bloody Sunday.” As she joined the
peaceful march, Ebo faced reporters and said “I am here because
I am a Negro, a nun, a Catholic, and because I want to bear
witness.”
Bloody Sunday was the first of three marches in 1965 that
marked the political and emotional peak of the modern civil rights
movement. The protests grew out of the voting rights movement in
Selma, Ala, launched by local African-Americans who formed the
Dallas County Voters League. Bloody Sunday occurred on March
7,1965, when 600 civil rights marchers were attacked by state and
local police with billy clubs and tear gas.
The Garaventa Center for Catholic Intellectual Life and Ameri­
can Culture seeks to enhance the intellectual, moral, and religious
development of our communities by examining the rich intersection
of Catholic faith and American culture.
