Selma politically correct by

The New York Times
Recently there was a recreation in Selma, Alabama of the Selma
March from 1965. An iconic photograph from
that march illustrated Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King accompanied by many civil
rights advocates alongside him. In an
attempt to recreate that photograph, the front line of that march in 2015
illustrated President Obama in the front.
The photograph of that recreation appeared on the front page
of the March 8, 2015 issue of The New York Times. The New York Times purposely cropped out of
the photograph President George Bush and
Laura Bush also on the front line. Why?
Simple, The New York Times did not want to promote Republicans and/or
conservatives as being concerned about civil rights. Political correctness.
Noteworthy of the March, 2015 recreation of the iconic
photograph was the noticeable absence of American flags. Look at the 1965 photograph with Dr. Martin
Luther King, and the background is flooded with American flags. Rev. Martin Luther King and associated in
1965 patriotic proud Americans while in 2015 it seems to state no pride in that
same country.
