People around the country who witnessed the violence on television came to Selma to attempt another march.  The second march was also blocked at the Edmund Pettus Bridge.  But after Rev. James Reeb of Boston was beaten to death
in Selma, President Johnson proposed a Voting Rights bill and ordered the Alabama National
Guard to protect 3,000 marchers who walked 50 miles down this road to the state capitol of Montgomery.  They arrived on March 25, 1965.
