Selma: March into History

Forty years ago,  thousands of marchers trekked from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., to demand that African-Americans be permitted to vote. Because of their courage and sacrifices, the South – indeed the nation – was transformed. The Voting Rights act that grew out of that bloody march comes up for renewal in two years.
