Organized by the National Bar Association, the two-day ceremony will gather prominent civil rights activists such as Benjamin Crump, the lawyer for both Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown’s families, and Rev. Bernice King, Dr. Martin Luther King’s daughter.

Tomorrow, the attendees will reveal a new display at the location where Parks was arrested in 1955, and will later travel to Selma to walk in unity across the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge.
