The story of America's civil rights years 1954-65.
In December 1964 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR received the Nobel Peace Prize. Later that month he went to Selma, Alabama, to lend impetus to the campaign for black voting rights. A 55-mile march from Selma to Montgomery was planned. But first the demonstrators had to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Governor Wallace had other ideas.
