'Sacred ground': Joe Biden marks 58th anniversary of 'Bloody Sunday' in Selma

The black-and-white images that flickered across television sets from that Bloody Sunday in Selma horrified the nation.

Alabama state troopers savagely clubbing peaceful marchers as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The screams of terror. The thick clouds of tear gas. The deputies on horseback, chasing frightened men, women and children back across the steel-arched structure. Beating them again and again with clubs, whips and rubber tubing wrapped in barbed wire.

"On this bridge, blood was given to help redeem the soul of America," President Joe Biden said Sunday during remarks commemorating the voting-rights demonstration.

Biden visited Selma on Sunday to mark the 58th anniversary of the march, now regarded as one of the defining moments in the nation’s civil rights movement. He delivered remarks at the Edmund Pettus Bridge and participated in the re-enactment of the bridge crossing.

Is there a condition where people feel happier ‘higher up.’ (w/ other influences accounted for) and inversely slightly deflated lower down. I don’t mean high heights I mean several inches higher maybe a few feet. But not high heights 🙃

Soooo after I slipped on ice carrying a heavy package and tore a ligament about 6 months ago, I’ve been strictly wearing sneakers whilst my leg healed. The other day I went back to wearing super thick soled boots bc of super slushy weather weather and I immediately perked up. I completely forgot how much happier I am higher up. This isn’t about being “taller” relative to other people but rather elevated relative to my normal level.. I also since childhood have always loved 💗 high beds, high chairs, high tables..

Just wondering if enough people in the world experience extreme shift in mood from height elevation they it had been recognized as a condition 😂
