1965年3月7日，數百名遊行者從州議會大廈出發（金恩未能同行），在遊行者抵達賽爾碼市外圍的愛德蒙配特司橋(Edmund Pettus Bridge)時，州警出面制止他們繼續前進，但遊行民眾以和平的方式拒絕回頭，且遵循金恩的指示以無暴力的方式堅持下去。
他們退到了人行道上，但州警卻未表現得如此和平，他們使用瓦斯、棍棒、鞭子驅趕遊行者，整個國家的人民都因而感到震撼。
On March 7, 1965, hundreds of marchers set out for the capitol building (King was not able to be with them). When the marchers reached Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge, they met a group of state troopers who told them to turn back. The marchers refused, but, as King would have wanted, there was no violence on their part.
Instead, they knelt on the sidewalk. The state troopers were not so peaceful. They used tear gas, sticks, and whips to attack the marchers. People all over the country were horrified.
