MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The voting rights march may have started in Selma but it ended in Montgomery. And the city of Montgomery is also preparing for large crowds this weekend for Selma’s Bridge Crossing Jubilee.
Simmons says preparations are underway in the capital city ahead of the jubilee, which will be attended by President Joe Biden. Thousands are expected to make their way to the Selma to take part in the festivities. The hotel occupancy in downtown Montgomery is almost at 100%. And Simmons says it will be a big weekend for area businesses.
