Welcome to the South, Bloomberg. Hah. Serves you right, snot-nosed New Yorker.

Civil rights warrior John Lewis participates in the Bloody Sunday march in Selma as he battles cancer while earlier church congregants turned their backs on Mike Bloomberg as he spoke about his racial equality policies
John Lewis arrived at 55th Bloody Sunday commemoration in Selma on Sunday
He was 25 on March 7, 1965, when he led marchers across Edmund Pettus Bridge
The civil rights warrior, 80, attended Sunday's march despite battling cancer
Lewis, who was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in December, was seen sitting in the back seat of a vehicle ahead of the march
Earlier on Sunday, Bloomberg spoke at Brown Chapel AME Church in Selma
Ten congregants at the historic church stood up and turned their backs on him
The former mayor was speaking about racial inequality when attendees stood up
Bloomberg has faced sharp criticism over use of stop-and-frisk policing tactics while mayor, as well as his racially charged comments justifying the practice
He launched his campaign with an apology of his use of stop-and-frisk, and has released a handful of policies aimed at eliminating the racial wealth gap
Bloomberg and other Democratic candidates vying for the black vote gathered at the church to commemorate the 55th anniversary of Blood Sunday in Selma
In March 1965, black demonstrators in Selma were beaten by white police officers for marching for the right to vote during the civil rights movement
Sen Elizabeth Warren, Sen Amy Klobuchar and former Mayor Pete Buttigieg were scheduled to join marchers re-enacting the walk across Edmund Pettus Bridge
