This historical release by Ted Ellis depicts the events that transpired in Selma, Alabama on March 7th, 1965. John Lewis, a 25-year-old activist, led a group of over 600 across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to protest the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson. Jimmie was shot by a state trooper while protecting his mother during a civil rights demonstration.
Once the group crossed the bridge they were attacked by state troopers with billy clubs and tear gas. 17 marchers were hospitalized and approximately 50 were treated for lesser injuries. When the event was brought to the attention of the nation, an uproar ensued which assisted the activists in their fight for voting rights legislation.
This painting was originally unveiled during the 50th anniversary of the event. It served as the event's official painting and was unveiled with the artist and the Mayor of Selma, George Evans, present.
