While many of her fellow classmates are spending their spring break in the Caribbean, Ho-Sang is taking the 54-mile trek from Selma to Montgomery.
The 21-year-old Tuskegee University student is among dozens of college students who traveled to Alabama this week to participate in the annual commemoration of the “Bloody Sunday” organized by the National Action Network and other civil rights and labor groups.
