"Today, I join my colleagues, led by my brother @repjohnlewis, on the @FaithandPolitic Congressional Civil Rights Pilgrimage to Selma, Alabama. Every year, we visit historic sites of the Civil Rights Movement and remember and honor the sacrifices of Civil Rights heroes."

"Proud to join again this year & commemorate those who fought for equality, justice, & civil rights. We will continue to call on the Senate to take up #HR4 to #RestoreTheVote & other bills that would honor the full participation of democracy many civil rights leaders called for."

"I visited the National Memorial for Peace & Justice, a memorial that captures the horror of lynching in America. Though it was long overdue, the House passed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act to designate lynching as a federal hate crime. I am urging passage in the Senate."

"On the 55th anniversary of #BloodySunday, I'm proud to be with @RepJohnLewis & our colleagues on the @FaithandPolitic Civil Rights Pilgrimage to commemorate that historic day, which shocked the conscience of our nation and led to the signing of the Voting Rights Act. #GoodTrouble"

"I was grateful to visit the Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. Federal Courthouse along with my colleagues, including @RepMarthaRoby, today. We remembered the courage of Judge Johnson and how his rulings helped to end segregation and enforce voting rights in the South."

"At 6 years old, Ruby Bridges was the first African American student to integrate an elementary school in the South. She continues to be an extraordinary leader for equality & tolerance in education. It was wonderful to see her & young people from the Alabama Shakespeare Festival."

"On the anniversary of #BloodySunday, we remember the young Americans who stood for racial justice & risked their lives. Their actions marked a watershed moment in the Civil Rights Movement. It was an honor to visit the Freedom Rides Museum with @RepJohnLewis & Bernard Lafayette."

"This is the first @FaithandPolitic Civil Rights Pilgrimage without our dear sister Juanita Abernathy. Today, we remembered this giant of the Civil Rights Movement & a woman of valor who blessed our country & all of us with the extraordinary gift of her life."

"Today, we remember the young women who died in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. It is a painful reminder of the height of racial terror in our country. We must commit to standing firm against these types of acts today and reject all hate-based violence."

"Concluded the @FaithandPolitic Pilgrimage by walking over the Edmund Pettus bridge with @RepJohnLewis, civil rights heroes, & colleagues. Each visit is more powerful than the last. We will return to Washington inspired to fight injustice everywhere & expand opportunity for all."
