Bloody Sunday Objections and President Johnson Nick I see you did the google search but all of those are CURRENT references to something that happened 50 years ago Over the first 49 years no one EVER called this Bloody Sunday This is offensive to the Irish and disrespectful to the families of the 14 Irishmen killed by the British Did anyone die in Selma I saw a discussion about what really happened that day The article as it is up now has SIGNIFICANT historical inaccuracies and that goes on to the points about President Johnson and the Voting Rights Act Most of this is settled history there is some outside group trying to re write history I m just trying to correct it It appears I m not the only one either History should not be re written to suit the political motivations of a few people 50 years after an event It is that simple
