the Voting Rights Act for African Americans
The 1965 March to Selma, also known as the Selma to Montgomery marches, was a pivotal event in the American civil rights movement. Organized to protest racial discrimination and voting rights for African Americans, the first march, known as "Bloody Sunday," occurred on March 7, when marchers were violently confronted by law enforcement at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The brutality captured national attention, leading to widespread outrage and support for the civil rights cause. Subsequently, the marches culminated in a successful 54-mile trek from Selma to Montgomery, with federal protection, culminating in a rally at the Alabama State Capitol on March 25, 1965.
The march in Selma on March 7, 1965, was called "Bloody Sunday" due to the violent response by law enforcement against peaceful civil rights demonstrators.

The event drew national attention to the struggle for voting rights and led to widespread outrage, ultimately contributing to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
