“ Late in the afternoon on Sunday, March 7, 1965, John Lewis and Reverend Willaims stood at the head of a group of nearly six hundred people. From Brown Chapel AME Church they marched down Sylvan Street, turned right on Water Street, then walked on Broad Street. There they turned left and headed up the steep western arch of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, which led out of Selma. Several dozen of Sheriff Clarks men watched the marchers as they passed.”
