 On March 7, 1965, 600 black voting rights activists began a march from Selma to the state capitol in Montgomery. As they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge leading out of Selma, they were met by sheriff's deputies and state troopers who dispersed them with tear gas and nightsticks. 'Bloody Sunday' became the catalyst for the federal Voting Rights Act.
