Additional Details

Two of these images are from the preliminary protests that led to the Selma marches. In an 11 February 1965 image (illustrated), the newspaper clipping caption reads "Negro school pupils run to keep up with Sheriff Jim Clark . . . in a 2½ mile forced march out of Selma, Ala. yesterday. Sheriff made the youngsters run into countryside after a demonstration in front of the courthouse." One shows Amelia Boynton after she was injured at the first "Bloody Sunday" march. The final shot is of the concluding Selma to Montgomery march, as viewed through the windshield of a military escort vehicle.
