The confrontation on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, known as "Bloody Sunday," occurred on March 7, 1965, during a civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. While there were numerous injuries among the marchers, no deaths occurred on that day itself. However, the events were pivotal in galvanizing support for the Civil Rights Movement and ultimately led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
