Signs, Signs, Welcome to Sensational Selma

"Welcome to Sensational Selma" is the quilt square made

 by the Selma-Dallas County Public Library for Selma's Unity Quilt. 

I love the bright colors, and I love the library, where the employees 

are just the nicest folks around. Take a few minutes to read this great article, 

 "Public Officials and Employees Could Learn from Those Working

 at the Selma Public Library," about their service during 

Bridge Crossing Jubilee's 50th anniversary as observed 

by one of AL.com's writers.

Selma Unity March

Hundreds of people from Selma's churches came together Sunday 

for the Selma Unity March (One Selma: Coming Home...United in Faith).

 They crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge from the Selmont side back into town

to symbolize that God is working to unify the city for His Kingdom.

 The 176-block quilt was made by various churches, organizations 

and individuals and will be on display at the public library.

 From the sounding of shofars to prayers of repentance 

and restoration, downtown Selma overflowed with enthusiasm.

G is for GROUP Project

Here is a GROUP project that would not have been accomplished 50 years ago,

 a Selma Unity Quilt that will be carried this Sunday, March 1

 in the United in Faith Unity Walk. 

The quilt was displayed Tuesday evening at Brown Chapel AME Church

 (where civil rights rallies and meetings were often held in 1965)

  during a meeting among ministers and lay people. The quilt

 features 176 squares from churches, individuals and businesses in Selma.

In the bottom photo, Dr. Jerry W. Light of Selma's First Baptist Church 

(Lauderdale Street) and Jwanda Maxwell of Brown Chapel AME Church,

Selma's Unity Quilt

Guest photographer Christine Weerts visited the community quilting bee

 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church Saturday and  shared pictures of Selma's Unity Quilt.

 Led by Birmingham's "March Quilts" creators Bib & Tucker Sew-Op,  individuals, churches

 and organizations sewed quilt squares representing unity. 

The squares will be joined into a quilt to commemorate the 50th anniversary

 of the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march

and carried in the Unity March on Sunday, March 1.

The quilt will remain in Selma on display.
