Bridging history: Selma and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 / Office of the House Historian, Office of Art and Archives, Office of the Clerk.

Summary:

"On March 7, 1965, peaceful protesters marching for voting rights in Selma, Alabama, were brutally attacked by state troopers. News of what became known as "Bloody Sunday" swept across America, galvanizing public opinion behind voting reform and prompting Congress to pass the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act. Through oral histories, archival footage, and historic photographs, this documentary examines the swift legislative response to the events in Selma. Watch as House Members and staff track the path of the Voting Rights Act from inception, through committee, and onto the desk of President Lyndon B. Johnson"--Landing page.
