Vice President Kamala Harris marched in Selma on Sunday to commemorate 'Bloody Sunday,' a defining moment in the fight for equal voting rights, as congressional efforts to restore the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act have faltered.
Under a blazing blue sky, Harris linked arms with rank-and-file activists from the civil rights movement and led thousands across the bridge in Alabama where, on March 7, 1965, white state troopers attacked black voting rights marchers attempting to cross.
The original demonstrators, about 600 of them, were headed to the state capital of Montgomery some 54 miles away when they were attacked by 150 state troopers, deputies and possemen, according to the National Archives.
The images of violence at the Edmund Pettus Bridge - named for a Confederate general - shocked the nation and helped galvanize support for passage of the Voting Rights Act.
