Hundreds Expected at 50th Anniversary Commemorative March

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne officials are expecting a large turnout at this weekend's march commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the “Bloody Sunday” march in Selma, Alabama.


The march from Northside High School to Freimann Square will take place Sunday March 8th at 4:00 p.m., and will cause temporary lane restrictions on State Boulevard and Clinton Street.   Westbound lanes on State, from Northside to Clinton, will be closed to drivers a few minutes before the march begins. Once on Clinton, the march will use the two eastern lanes of Clinton into downtown. The far west lane of Clinton will remain open for emergency vehicles and truck traffic, but other drivers will be re-routed.


The march is expected to take about 40 minutes and streets will re-open to all traffic immediately after the march.
