MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 21, 1965: 3,200 people began the third march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to protest racial violence. Earlier efforts to hold the march had failed when police attacked demonstrators and a minister was fatally beaten by a group of Selma whites. The five-day walk ended March 26, when 20,000 people joined the marchers in front of the Alabama state Capitol in Montgomery. This time they were defended by national guards and FBI agents. Soon after, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>workingClass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>civilrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MartinLutherKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MartinLutherKing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JimCrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JimCrow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fbi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fbi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/votingrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>votingrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/selma" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selma</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/montgomery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>montgomery</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>alabama</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>policebrutality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlackMastadon</span></a></p>
