Six Blocks, Sixty Years: A Black History Celebration
February 15, 2025
Downtown Tempe Authority and The City of Tempe invites you to celebrate Black History Month on February 15, 2025! Join us for a historic march on the iconic Mill Avenue Bridge. In 2025, we will commemorate the 60th anniversary of a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement with an inclusive event open to everyone. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome!
We’ll walk SIX BLOCKS across the Mill Avenue Bridge which leads right to Tempe's MLK Ragsdale Park, symbolizing unity and remembrance. The march pays tribute to the historic 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery march, where civil rights activists were stopped six blocks in at the Edmund Pettus Bridge on "Bloody Sunday."
We invite community members, law enforcement, and neighbors from across the region to join this interactive experience that promotes unity, reflection, and a commitment to social justice. Together, we will honor the past, foster conversations about race and equality, and inspire progress for future generations.
Register HERE to secure your spot. Registration closes on January 15, 2025. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something powerful—let’s march forward together!
