The article discusses the 54th Mile Policing Project, which was undertaken by three police leaders who walked from Selma to Montgomery. The project aimed to improve community-police relations and address the challenges faced by American policing. The leaders reflected on the historical events in Selma, particularly Bloody Sunday, and sought to build a bridge of trust between the police and the community. They learned three key lessons: acknowledging the humanity of all individuals, implementing changes for improvement, and fostering dialogue and collaboration between the police and the community. The leaders are now working on a national initiative called the 54th Mile Policing Project, which aims to establish a curriculum on racial reconciliation and resiliency for the police and the community. The project is supported by federal funding from the US Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance. The leaders believe that by learning from the events in Selma, modern policing can strive towards a more equitable and harmonious relationship with the communities they serve.
