‘Bloody Sunday’ 60th anniversary is marked with remembrances, concerns

SELMA, Ala. (AP) — Charles Mauldin was near the front of a line of voting rights marchers walking in pairs across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama on March 7, 1965. The marchers were protesting white officials’ refusal to allow Black Alabamians to register to vote, as well as the killing days earlier of Jimmie Lee Jackson, a minister and voting rights organizer who was shot by a state trooper in nearby Marion.

Henley’s big eagle flies him to Bay Hill win

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Russell Henley faced one shot he hardly ever practices. On another shot, he figured he had little chance for the ball to stay on the green. Both turned out close to perfectly Sunday in the Arnold Palmer Invitational — one for birdie, the other for eagle — that were key moments in a charge that would have made Arnie proud. He shot 33 on the back nine — the best of anyone in contention for a 2-under 70 that gave him a one-shot win over Collin Morikawa. “It’s still surreal wearing this thing up here,” Henley said of the red cardigan that goes to the ...
