Selma marks Bloody Sunday

Saturday marks 50 years since "Bloody Sunday," when hundreds of people were brutally attacked by Alabama State Troopers as they marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to protest racial discrimination in voter registration. About 600 people participated in the planned 50-mile journey on March 7, 1965.
