Why We Must Continue The Work of Selma To Remake America

Why We Must Continue The Work of Selma To Remake America


On Friday, businesspeople like BE 100s CEO Greg Calhoun, who operates Alabama-based Calhoun Enterprises and participated in the Selma marches with his family as a child, and his wife, Verlyn, worked to move forward today’s economic agenda. At the “Bloody Sunday” Commemorative Lunch, they recognized civil rights leaders Jesse L.  Jackson, Amelia Robinson, Fred David Gray, C.T. Vivian and Andrew Young as well as garnered support for the Montgomery Improvement Association Foundation named after the organization that guided the 1955 bus boycott that placed a national spotlight on the civil rights movement and its leader, Dr. King.
