In 1965, after a demonstration in Alabama erupted in violence and death, African American residents planned a march from Selma to the state capitol in Montgomery. The first march on March 7, 1965, often called “Bloody Sunday,” was met with violence from the state and local police.
Video footage and photographs—such as those featured in this March 19 edition of "LIFE" magazine—carried images from Selma across the nation. Millions of Americans were horrified by scenes of the peaceful marchers—led by the Reverend Hosea Williams and John Lewis—being beaten by police while white onlookers cheered. From across the nation volunteers came to join subsequent marches and protests. Others sent letters and telegrams to Washington demanding reform.
Four months after the public outcry over the brutality in Selma, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act on August 6, 1965.
