First Lady Jill Biden‘s guests at President Joe Biden‘s State of the Union address tonight will include Maria Shriver, singer and civil rights advocate Bettie Mae Fikes and UAW President Shawn Fain.

That is particularly important this year as he runs for reelection.

Fikes, known as the “voice of Selma,” served as a member of Selma’s Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. She participated in what became known as Bloody Sunday in 1965. The State of the Union is taking place on its 49th anniversary.
