Bloody Sunday refers to the events on March 7, 1965, when civil rights marchers were violently confronted by law enforcement at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, while attempting to march for voting rights. The brutal images of the violence garnered national attention and outrage. In response, President Lyndon B. Johnson condemned the violence and called for the protection of the marchers, ultimately leading to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate racial discrimination in voting.
