In 1965 a photojournalist from New York called Dan Budnik photographed a march out of Selma, Alabama in support of the right to vote then denied to the majority of Black Americans in many Southern States. The violence preceding the march, and the march itself which passed peacefully, led Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act which was signed into law by President Johnson fifty years ago this week. By Graham Harrison.

Shocked by the images, clergy from across America answered a call from Dr King to come to Selma to support the protest. On the night of the second march, which had stopped on the bridge for prayers then turned back in obeyance of a Federal injunction, local Klan members attacked three white ministers with clubs, their fists and boots.

Long before he became a world-famous dreamer, Martin Luther King Jr. was a little boy who played jokes and practiced the piano and made friends without considering race. But growing up in the segregated south of the 1930s taught young Martin a bitter lesson -- little white children and little black children were not to play with one another. Martin decided then and there that something had to be done. And so he began the journey that would change the course of American history.
