On March 7, 1965, the event known as Bloody Sunday occurred, when the Alabama State Police attacked voting rights marchers in Selma, Alabama, setting off a wave of national outrage. On March 9, the second march stopped short of the Pettus Bridge. Lyndon Johnson pressured Alabama Governor George Wallace to request a federal presence to protect the marchers from his own troopers, and with federal protection the march was completed a few weeks later. The national outrage gave Johnson the traction to push forward the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
