I was only 8 years old in1965... and not wise to the ways of the evildoers of the day. Now, as a 64 white person, I can see how important those 3 attempts , 5 days, and 50 miles is, and was in our History. But with all the great strides we have made as a society, 57 years later we in many ways we still think with a mind of a child. We still refuse to see that it is our diversity that makes us grow as a society. The 3 Marches of Selma to Montgomery was both sides of the same coin, of how ugly a people can be in forms like segregation, racial injustice . And of how a people, can come together in the form of breaking down walls, coming together for a single cause, and played a major roll of the passage of the U. S. Voting Rights Act of 1965. I want to conclude by saying this: for those in a society that think that history is useless , think long and hard on that conclusion, because without history... man is doomed to repeat it. And this is a VERY TERRIFYING THOUGHT. Please! everyone go to your local library and read the history books of your local town, and other towns, different ERA's. History teaches us so many things; good and bad. But you must read it first. Thank You , for reading to the end.

Thank you so much for this video clip. I was not born yet. My mom was like eleven years old. I am an immigrnat, I took a semester of US history for my citizenship but I did not learn or know about this particular event. It made me tear up when you mentioned that they walked for four days and the people who got killed alone the way. May God bless all of those who have pave the way for the common good peacefullly without braking / destroying others property. Viva Cristo Rey. May MLK rest in peace.

Thank you Dave! I have enjoyed watching many episodes of Drive Thru History. I especially enjoyed reading the New Testament and watching the Gospels series followed by the Acts to Revelation series. It really made my study come alive.

The sad thing is they've been going there marching for over fifty years and not improved the city of Selma. I was in that church, reminded me a church I grew up in, what struck me is Selma is a wasteland, but these people have been marching there since before I was born. Why hasn't anything been done to assist the city? Why are there so many burnt out houses? Why are there so many houses boarded up and the city growing in weeds everywhere there isn't a church? I live in Alabama and all these folks should be ashamed of themselves for not doing anything more effective for the preservation of the city of Selma. They march and do nothing for the city they get national coverage marching out of.

Thanks for the information. I was born right in the USA and you are giving me information that I have never heard before. Like for instance the information about the bridge. Sad part about that is I think they should rename the bridge asap. That's so disrespectful in my eyes. Peace be to all and blessings be to the world
