After Bloody Sunday on March 7, 1965, when peaceful civil rights marchers were violently confronted by law enforcement at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the event garnered national attention and outrage. This led to widespread media coverage, prompting President Lyndon B. Johnson to intervene. He called for federal protection of the marchers, which culminated in a second march on March 9, and ultimately led to the successful Selma to Montgomery march from March 21 to March 25, 1965. This series of events highlighted the struggle for voting rights and contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act later that year.
