One of the most notable events in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s was the Selma-to-Montgomery March on behalf of voting rights. After two earlier attempts, about 3,000 marchers set out from Selma, Ala., on March 21, 1965, eventually crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge and arriving at the Montgomery state capitol on March 25 with a crowd that had swelled to 25,000. More than 20 members of the Morningside College community were among them.
