Annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee A Week Away

From the West Alabama newsroom–

The annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee is set to kick off in a week — and organizers are working to put the finishing touches — on the biggest annual civil rights event in the country.

The Sunday line-up of events — are the highlight of the Bridge Crossing Jubilee.

Organizers say the annual Martin and Coretta King Unity Breakfast — will be a drive-in event again this year.

And Sunday morning service will be at the Edmondite Missions Bullock Community Center — instead of Brown Chapel Church.

“The venue will be changed because of the restoration work in the sanctuary, the venue will be changed but the vision will be the same,” said Rev. Leodis Strong.

The Bridge Crossing Jubilee is March 3rd through 6th.
