Selma Churches, Tabernacle Baptist


When I recall my most joyous moments, I realize how true the words of this sign can be.

Tabernacle Baptist Church on Broad Street is historic as the church that gave birth to the voting rights movement in Selma. The first mass meeting was held here before the meetings were moved to Brown Chapel AME Church on what is now Martin Luther King Jr. Street.

Thanks to guest photographer Christine Weerts for sending this picture.

    There is definitely a lot of truth in that statement... on so many levels.

    Do you really think that's true?

    If so, that's a heck of a way to run the world.

    Hi Jacob, It's true sometimes, but no, not always, thank goodness! I sure went through some pain to give birth to my three bundles of joy, for example! (:
