March 3, 2014. Selma, Alabama. Edmund Pettus Bridge, Civil Rights monuments, Bloody Sunday Mural, Amelia Boynton Robinson and Marie Foster Monument, The Honorable John Lewis Monument, Civil Rights Memorial Mural, and the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute. Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965, commemorates the day when 600 people began a march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, demanding an end to discrimination in voter registration. At the Edmund Pettus Bridge, state and local lawmen attacked the marchers with billy clubs and tear gas. Edmund Pettus Bridge, was named for a Confederate brigadier general, Grand Dragon of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan, and U.S. senator who stood against Black rights. The events in Selma galvanized public opinion and mobilized Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act, which President Johnson signed into law on August 6, 1965. Today, the bridge that served as the backdrop to “Bloody Sunday” still bears the name of a white supremacist, but now it is a symbolic civil rights landmark. © Marilyn Humphries
