At the starting point of the historic voting rights march from Selma to Alabama's capital city, Montgomery, marchers gather. Dr. Martin Luther King addresses the crowd, which in this third and final attempt to march peacefully, is being protected by national guard units. A soldier passes speaking into his radio; another patrols on his motorcycle. Marchers pick up their sleeping bags, which they will use to sleep at night in the fields along the way. Dr. King leads the march, a garland of flowers around his neck. Children watch from the signpost at the intersection of Sylvan and Alabama Ave. Marchers cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge and a military officer rises from his jeep. Dr. King continues to lead the march on the other side of the bridge. Selma, Alabama, 1965.
