Brown Chapel, AME, Selma Alabama
Despite a ban on protest marches by Governor George Wallace, on Sunday morning, March 7, 1965, about 600 black protestors gathered outside Brown Chapel with Martin Luther King to march from Selma to the state capital in Montgomery. In a church service here last week, we were overwhelmed by the voices of the SF Gay Men's Chorus and the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir joining in "We Shall Overcome."
