Today Alagasco unveiled its fifth and final gas light commemorating the civil rights movement in Alabama at Riverfront Park. The other four gas lights are located in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, and Anniston. Selma is proud to have been chosen as the final city for the "Lighting the Way" gas light path.
Speakers for the dedication ceremony were President of Alagasco, Dudley Reynolds; Mayor of Selma, George Evans; District Director for Terri A. Sewell, Chasseny Lewis; and Councilwoman Angela Benjamin.

The beautiful new gas light will serve as a beacon of hope for Selma and everyone involved with the civil rights movement. It is a positive addition to our city and highlights how far we have come since that time in Selma's history.
"The future is bright and full of opportunity."
