7 Anniversary of Bloody Sunday, Selma, 1965 Anniversary of Bloody Sunday, Selma, 1965 March 7, 2021 Selma, Alabama On March 7, 1965, a group of about 600 people led by John Lewis and the Reverend Hosea Williams started to march from Selma, Alabama, to the state’s capital, Montgomery, to protest the shooting death of activist Jimmie Lee Jackson and advocate for voting rights for African-Americans. State and local police attacked the protesters after they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, named for a Confederate general, KKK leader, and later US Senator. The march didn't reach Montgomery but resonates in history.

Pennsylvania was the 21st state to ratify it, also in 1972. However, ratification by the 50 states stalled just short of the 3/4 needed to add the Amendment to the US Constitution. In 1971, Pennsylvania added to its constitution Article I § 28. Prohibition against denial or abridgment of equality of rights because of sex: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania because of the sex of the individual."

How tragedy inspires reform: Frances Perkins witnessed the blaze, with fire escapes collapsing and fire ladders inadequately high. 47 workers leaped to their deaths from the top floors. The previous year, these same workers had fought for and won a 54 hour (!) work week and other benefits. Perkins became the secretary of a committee to study reforms. Perkins helped draft a comprehensive set of laws to protect workers. She work in New York until she was asked by FDR to serve as his Secretary of Labor. She is responsible for many of the protections and benefits for workers that we take for granted today.

US women on average still earn under 80% of what men are paid.

Tuesday was selected to represent how far into the next work week women must work to earn what men earned the previous week. The wage gap is even greater for most women of color. See more details •
