Edmund Pettus Bridge Selma, AL 36703

"Such a terrible place. The Memorial Park is unkempt and the boardwalk rotting. The parking area is littered with trash. The sculptures and plaques themselves are in good condition. That the bridge itself retains this name is so sad. This bridge serves as a solemn reminder for how far the USA still has to go to achieve any kind or “ “ “racial” and economic parity."

"I really enjoyed seeing this historic bridge that has been through so much over the years! It’s great to walk up to it! I highly recommend visiting when coming to Selma!"

"Amazing and historical site to visit in Selma, Alabama. Make sure you talk to Columbus at the foot of the bridge. He is an excellent historian."

"This was a tough decision on what to rate. The history on this bridge is monumental. The area that it's in is in rough shape. It's sad to see that history isn't being properly respected or preserved. Overall, I'd still say it's worth the stop - but be fully aware, the area is surrounded by abandoned buildings, run-down buildings, and unkempt lawn near the statues & structures. I wouldn't call it a pleasant experience- and yes, I understand a blood bath took place here. I'm just saying, because of the history of it, I personally feel it should be better respected. And if you're a dog lover - take treats because sadly, you're sure to find stray dogs. I can't bring myself to rate this lower than 3 stars, simply because of the history of it. Yet, they need to step it up as a community and preserve this in more of a proper manner. We need to preserve history, whether good, bad, or ugly - simply so we can learn from the mistakes of our forefathers. Know better = Do better."

"It was definitely a very emotional experience for me! The view around the bridge is run down and hasnt been kept up, but the significance the bridge holds was still well worth the visit. The Selma sign and monuments are before you go over the bridge. I did hear the have something called the jubilee every year where the celebrate and things."
