There were three major Selma to Montgomery marches:

The first march was March 7, 1965; involving 600 portestors which ended in the "Bloody Sunday" incident in which the marchers were attacked by police.

The second march was on March 9, 1965 with about 2,500 protestors. However they did not go all the way to Montgomery as there was a court order against it in effect at that time.

On March 21, 1965, after the court order had been recinded, 8,000 protesters marched to Mongomery under protection of Amry and National Guard troops
