Gov. Andy Beshear joined thousands of activists and community members on Sunday marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

On March 7, 1965, a march by over 500 civil rights demonstrators was violently broken up at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama; state troopers and a sheriff’s posse fired tear gas and beat marchers with batons in what became known as “Bloody Sunday.”

Charles Mauldin was near the front of a line of voting rights marchers walking in pairs across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama on March 7, 1965.
