On Sunday March 7 1965, approximately 500 nonviolent protestors gathered at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama to march to the state capitol in Montgomery in protest of the general nullification of the 15th Amendment, and the laws and violence that kept African-Americans from voting. They also walked in honor of Jimmie Lee Jackson, who was murdered three weeks earlier by a state trooper during a civil rights demonstration. Alabama police brutally attacked the marchers, and ABC interrupted the Nazi documentary Judgment in Nuremberg to show footage of the marchers being beaten in what became known as "Bloody Sunday." On March 9, Dr. King led marchers to the bridge where they knelt and prayed, but did not march. That night, a Northern minister visiting Selma for the march was murdered. President Lyndon Johnson spoke out: "There is no issue of States rights or national rights. There is only the struggle for human rights…We have already waited a hundred years and more, and the time for waiting is gone…" Marchers were granted a permit on March 19, and on March 21, 25,000 people began a 4-day march from Selma to Montgomery, resulting in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, guaranteeing the right to vote to every American over the age of 21.
