March #1

On the Edmund Pettus Bridge, a quiet moment unfolds as Hosea Williams speaks to John Lewis—voices echoing across history, the weight of the past felt in the stillness, though neither figure is seen. A single panel, framed in white space, captures a fleeting, powerful exchange from a moment that shaped a movement.

In the pivotal moments of "Bloody Sunday," Jo and Hosea Williams lead a peaceful march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, demanding the right to vote. Facing brutal violence from state police, the marchers—unarmed and determined—are met with clubs and tear gas, leaving John Lewis with a fractured skull.

In "null," John Lewis recounts his journey from a sharecropper’s son in Alabama to a pivotal leader in the civil rights movement, tracing his path from meeting Dr. King to organizing sit-ins in Nashville and confronting segregation with courage and conviction. Written with quiet power, the story captures the long, hard road toward change—marked by resistance, arrests, and the enduring strength of nonviolence—culminating in the historic moment of Barack Obama’s inauguration, where Lewis reflects on a lifetime of struggle with the simple, steadfast words, “Don’t get weary.”
