Selma.11Bridge
The infamous Edmund Pettus Bridge crossing the Alabama River on Route 80 in Selma. Led in 1965 by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King on a date now known as Bloody Sunday, about 600 civil rights marchers walking from Selma to Montgomery were met with a brutal attack by police. Two weeks later, after a court ruled the marchers had the right to walk on the highway, about 3,200 people completed the Selma to Montgomery march. (Jessica Elsayed/YJI)
