In a peaceful voting rights march in Montgomery, Alabama, an overhead shot of the crowd shows Dr. King in the center, flags waving as the march moves down the street. A line of clergy marches, arms linked, then the camera pans the crowd of people, lined with reporters with notebooks and cameras filming. They pass the capital building, flags flying. Police stand on the capital building steps, and a close-up shows a police club at rest in hands behind an officer's back. Montgomery, Alabama, 1965.
