CCATDP celebra⁠t⁠es Independence Day w⁠i⁠⁠t⁠h new v⁠i⁠deo


The video was filmed on the famous Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma, Alabama. You will see the connection between the fight for equality in the days of the Civil Rights Movement to the fight to end the death penalty and racial bias within the criminal justice system today.

If Black people are still feeling victimized by our justice system, then the message of this Independence Day cannot be a celebration of freedom alone. The message must also be that we still have work to do to realize our dream of true liberty and justice for all.
