Thousands
throughout the country converged on Selma, Alabama the first weekend of March. The crowds gathered to com- memorate the 50th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday.”
On March 7, 1965, local and state police in the small town attacked and beat a group of peaceful African Americans who were protesting for voting rights and Civil Rights. The crowd of about 300 people was at- tacked while on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. More than 40 people would die before a group of national Civil Rights leaders led a group across the bridge and on a 50-mile walk to Montgomery.
