Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared his reflections and concerns on social media regarding historical events and current political actions. His tweets mark significant anniversaries and address potential policy changes affecting national heritage sites.
On March 7, 2025, Congressman Carter commemorated the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday with a tweet that reads: “Today marks 60 years since #BloodySunday, when 600 civil rights activists were attacked while marching for their rights across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. I had the honor to stand where they stood, reflecting on their courage.” He emphasized the importance of honoring their legacy.
Later that day, he reiterated this sentiment by stating: “History ignored is history repeated! This year marks 60 years since #BloodySunday…” In this post, he expressed his profound honor at standing where these activists once marched.
In another tweet posted on March 7, Congressman Carter criticized an action by President Biden regarding National Park Service buildings: “.@POTUS is seeking to cancel the leases for 34 National Park Service buildings…” He described this as an attack on history and culture.
