Half a century ago, the Selma to Montgomery march represented a watershed in modern American life. This weekend, Barack Obama will speak to mark the 50th anniversary of the “Bloody Sunday” march – and activists and campaigners will be going to Selma to march for a renewal of voting rights legislation, among other issues.

We want to know what the Selma marches mean to you – and whether you’ll be marching this weekend. You can share your stories and images with us by clicking on the blue “Contribute” button on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the new Guardian app and search for “GuardianWitness assignments”.
