60 years after Bloody Sunday in Alabama, elusive racial progress in Selma

Civil rights demonstrators, led by Dr. Martin Luther King (5th R), civil rights activist Ralph Abernathy (5th L), John Lewis (3rd L) and other civil and religious leaders, make their way from Selma to Montgomery on March 22, 1965 in Alabama.

Events in Selma, Ala. six decades ago helped win support for the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Today local activists say they’re still fighting stubborn segregation, poverty and gun violence.
