First , there was “bloody Sunday” and “turnaround Tuesday,” then there was a rally in Boston in 1965 over housing discrimination and school segregation. Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior led the protest in Boston as well as Selma. The sixtieth anniversary of this demonstration in the city known as the “cradle of liberty” is expected to draw thousands of people at the same site to honor and reflect on the historic event.
