WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will visit Selma, Alabama, in March to recognize the 50th anniversary of historic marches led by activists fighting against segregation and seeking to ensure African Americans' right to vote, a White House official said on Tuesday.
Obama will visit the small southern town on March 7 as part of his administration's efforts to highlight the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the official said.
The law, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson 50 years ago this August, banned literacy tests and other tactics used in the U.S. South to block racial minorities from voting. The White House official said more details of Obama's trip would be announced later.

Oh he can make it down there but couldn't even send anyone to France for the "United we stand against Muslims" parade, what a F$%&*%^$ jaccka$$, God I hate him!!
12:00 AM - You are not by yourself, I know a lot of people who hate him.
Gerald, you are correct, he did not send anyone to the Paris March. He's only sending billions of US dollars worth of men, bombs, and bullets overseas to combat the problem. I don't believe the Paris March caused the death of a single jihadi. Do you?
Worst president in the history of this nation, makes Nixon look like a boy scout and Carter look like a genius.

Of course he didn't go to Paris. Don't you remember this from his book?
In “Audacity of Hope” he writes: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope.
He is just going to Selma to suck up to the blacks. They are the most gullible to convert to Muslim. That is why many of them convert in jail.
841 guessed you missed all the whites who have converted and actually left the country to join ISIS
Tell Obama to visit Isis.
Why not visit your home Kenya.
People Obama won't go against his own people Muslims ,it's so fn obvious.
More race-baiting.. That's what he does best!!
He's going down in history as the first black president and the worst. Gotta love it.
142 race baiting by going to selma? A site where whites and blacks stood up together to fight tyranny. You don't know your history too well do you? Hence the reason commemorations like this are so important
