Hillary Clinton will be in Selma, Alabama this Sunday to take part in the annual march to commemorate the voting rights marches in 1965.
Hillary will join Civil Rights veterans (and Barack Obama) on the walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
The Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches in 1965 drew international attention when Governor George Wallace ordered state troopers to break up the demonstrations. Troopers used sticks, whips and tear gas to disperse the crowd - all of which was captured on footage shown around the world.
The march was a major turning point for the Civil Rights movement, contributing to the introduction of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
