A woman whose in vitro fertilization treatments were canceled after the Alabama Supreme Court ruling determining frozen embryos are children will join a Bloody Sunday foot soldier as guests of President Biden during his State of the Union address tonight.

Birmingham resident Latorya Beasley and Bettie Mae Fikes of Selma will be in First Lady Jill Biden’s and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s viewing box as President Biden addresses the nation, the White House announced Thursday.

Beasley and her husband had their first child through IVF in 2022 and were undergoing another round of the procedure when her embryo transfer was abruptly canceled due to the Alabama Supreme Court decision.

“Her recent experience is yet another example of how the overturning of Roe v. Wade has disrupted access to reproductive health care for women and families across the country,” the White House said.

Fikes, who joined Biden to commemorate the 58th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday last year, will also be in the viewing box.

The White House noted that Biden’s address coincides with the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

Fikes was an original foot soldier and is a singer and civil rights advocate.

Known as the “Voice of Selma,” she served as a member of Selma’s Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) Freedom Singers.

Fikes has performed at Carnegie Hall, Newport Jazz Festival and the Library of Congress and was featured in the Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of Tolerance exhibition honoring women of the Civil Rights Movement.

She won’t be the only participant of the Selma to Montgomery marches in the chamber during Biden’s address.

Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham, will have three Bloody Sunday participants by her side: Sheyann Webb-Christburg, known as Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘’Smallest Freedom Fighter.”; King’s bodyguard and Bloody Sunday participant Bennie Lee Tucker; and JoAnne Bland, who was the youngest person jailed for any civil rights demonstration during the Civil Rights movement.

Sen. Katie Britt is set to give the Republican response to the State of the Union, becoming the first Alabama official to give the president’s address.
