On March 7, 1965, John Lewis attempted to lead 600 marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. The group was marching from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery to demand voting rights for Black Americans. Alabama Governor George Wallace had already directed state troopers “to use whatever measures are necessary to prevent a march.”
As the marchers reached the crest of the bridge, they saw a wall of state troopers waiting for them. The troopers were backed up by deputies from the county sheriff’s office some on horseback. The marchers stopped just short of the line of police officers.
“It would be detrimental to your safety to continue this march,” Major John Cloud announced over a bullhorn. “This is an unlawful assembly. You have to disperse, you are ordered to disperse. Go home or go to your church. This march will not continue.”
“Mr. Major,” replied Hosea Williams of the Southern Christian Leadership Council, “I would like to have a word, can we have a word?”
“I’ve got nothing further to say to you,” Cloud responded.
A brief standoff followed. Then the line of state troopers advanced. Firing tear gas and wielding clubs, the troopers tore through the crowd of marchers, which included women and children. Deputies on horseback joined the assault. White bystanders cheered. The unarmed marchers were beaten to the ground.
