Description

The officers are blocking another attempted march to the courthouse across the street from the church building. Jackson's subsequent death on February 26 led to "Bloody Sunday," an attempted voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery during which peaceful demonstrators were attacked by law enforcement officers.
