A 'misstep': Controversial MAGA Bloody Sunday billboards removed in Montgomery, Alabama

Two billboards showing President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan with a backdrop of 1965's Bloody Sunday attack on civil rights protesters in Selma, Alabama, has been removed from Montgomery, Alabama, city officials say.

The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts sponsored the billboards in connection with an upcoming exhibit on the civil rights movement.

Mayor Steven Reed said on the city's Facebook page that "as soon as I was made aware of the billboard featuring a politicized image of Bloody Sunday, I immediately inquired whether it had been purchased by the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
