Civil and human rights activist Joanne Bland offered powerful and challenging words for the mostly younger generation in the audience when she spoke Thursday at Georgia Southern's Nessmith-Lane Conference Center. Her lecture, entitled "My Piece in the Puzzle of Social Change," stirred emotions and evoked a host of questions from college students. The audience was silent as Bland gave first-hand details of "Bloody Sunday," the first attempt to march from Selma, Alabama, to the state capital of Montgomery in March 1965.
