Edmund Pettus was a Confederate general during the American Civil War and later served as a prominent politician in Alabama. He is best known for his role as a leader in the Selma, Alabama, area during the civil rights movement, particularly for the infamous Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965, where the Edmund Pettus Bridge became a symbol of the struggle for voting rights. His legacy is controversial due to his ties to the Confederacy and his involvement in racial segregation. The bridge was named in his honor, but it has since become a site of remembrance for the fight against racial injustice.
In 1965, Congressman John Lewis was beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge during the Selma to Montgomery marches. He was a prominent civil rights leader advocating for voting rights and was part of the march on "Bloody Sunday," which drew national attention to the struggle for civil rights in the United States. The violent confrontation on the bridge became a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement.
John J. Pettus died in 1867.
