Selma church groups learn from NI peace process

The city of Selma in Alabama, is known for the role it played in the American civil rights movement with the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches dominating headlines around the world.

Attempts at reconciliation between black and white communities have drawn parallels with efforts to better relations between Catholics and Protestants here in Northern Ireland.

Now, two church leaders from Selma - one black, and one white - have, for the first time, brought their youth groups together -- to Northern Ireland , to learn from our peace process. Jayne McCormack went down to meet them during their week here.
