Selma and the Liuzzo Murder Trials

Selma and the Liuzzo Murder Trials

James P. Turner

The University of Michigan Press
2018
nidottu
In 1965 the drive for black voting rights in the south culminated in the epic Selma to Montgomery Freedom March. After brutal state police beatings stunned the nation on “Bloody Sunday,” troops under federal court order lined the route as the march finally made its way to the State Capitol and a triumphant address by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But within hours klan terror struck, claiming the life of one of the marchers, Viola Liuzzo, a Detroit mother of five. Turner offers an insider’s view of the three trials that took place over the following nine months—which finally resulted in the conviction of the killers. Despite eyewitness testimony by an FBI informant who was riding in the car with the killers, two all-white state juries refused to convict. It took a team of Civil Rights Division lawyers, led by the legendary John Doar, to produce the landmark jury verdict that klansmen were no longer above the law. This is must reading today, as the voting rights won in Selma come under renewed attack.Explore several court documents, including court transcripts, exhibits, and memoranda on Fulcrum.org.

Selma's Self-Sacrifice

Selma's Self-Sacrifice

Reese Enterprise

Frederick D. Reese was born on November 28, 1929, in Selma, Alabama. Reese rose to national prominence as a civil rights leader after Selma's "Bloody Sunday." He later marched with Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. from Selma to Montgomery as an advocate for African-American voter registration rights. On March 7, 1965, Reese and more than 600 other activists marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. The day would live in infamy as "Bloody Sunday" after protestors were beaten and sprayed with tear gas on the orders of Alabama Governor George Wallace. Following the violence that day, the majority of the marchers congregated at Brown Chapel AME Church, where Reese spoke to the crowd. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. called Reese from Atlanta with news that he was organizing a march involving ministers from all over the country. On March 21, 1965, more than 3,000 people gathered at Selma's Brown Chapel AME Church in an attempt to march the 50-mile journey from Selma to Montgomery, but Judge Johnson would only grant clearance for 300 marchers to begin the two-lane trek along Hwy. 80 east, leaving Selma. Once the highway expanded from a two-lane to a four-lane road, people began joining the marchers. By the time they reached Alabama's state capital, Montgomery, the number of marchers had reached 50,000. Reese marched hand in hand with King, and his front row presence made him a symbol of and leader in the civil rights movement. Read how it all began...

Selma to Saigon

Selma to Saigon

Daniel S. Lucks

The University Press of Kentucky
2014
sidottu
The civil rights and anti--Vietnam War movements were the two greatest protests of twentieth-century America. The dramatic escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam in 1965 took precedence over civil rights legislation, which had dominated White House and congressional attention during the first half of the decade. The two issues became intertwined on January 6, 1966, when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) became the first civil rights organization to formally oppose the war, protesting the injustice of drafting African Americans to fight for the freedom of the South Vietnamese people when they were still denied basic freedoms at home.Selma to Saigon explores the impact of the Vietnam War on the national civil rights movement. Before the war gained widespread attention, the New Left, the SNCC, and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) worked together to create a biracial alliance with the potential to make significant political and social gains in Washington. Contention over the war, however, exacerbated preexisting generational and ideological tensions that undermined the coalition, and Lucks analyzes the causes and consequences of this disintegration.This powerful narrative illuminates the effects of the Vietnam War on the lives of leaders such as Whitney Young Jr., Stokely Carmichael, Roy Wilkins, Bayard Rustin, and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as other activists who faced the threat of the military draft along with race-related discrimination and violence. Providing new insights into the evolution of the civil rights movement, this book fills a significant gap in the literature about one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.

Selma’s Bloody Sunday

Selma’s Bloody Sunday

Robert A. Pratt

Johns Hopkins University Press
2017
sidottu
On Sunday afternoon, March 7, 1965, roughly six hundred peaceful demonstrators set out from Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church in a double-file column to march from Selma, Alabama, to the state capital of Montgomery. Leading the march were Hosea Williams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and John Lewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Upon reaching Broad Street, the marchers turned left to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge that spanned the Alabama River. "When we reached the crest of the bridge," recalls John Lewis, "I stopped dead still. So did Hosea. There, facing us at the bottom of the other side, stood a sea of blue-helmeted, blue-uniformed Alabama state troopers, line after line of them, dozens of battle-ready lawmen stretched from one side of U.S. Highway 80 to the other. Behind them were several dozen more armed men-Sheriff Clark's posse-some on horseback, all wearing khaki clothing, many carrying clubs the size of baseball bats." The violence and horror that was about to unfold at the foot of the bridge would forever mark the day as "Bloody Sunday," one of the pivotal moments of the civil rights movement. Alabama state troopers fell on the unarmed protestors as they crossed the bridge, beating and tear gassing them. In Selma's Bloody Sunday, Robert A. Pratt offers a vivid account of that infamous day and the indelible triumph of black and white protest over white resistance. He explores how the march itself-and the 1965 Voting Rights Act that followed-represented a reaffirmation of the nation's centuries-old declaration of universal equality and the fulfillment of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Selma's Bloody Sunday offers a fresh interpretation of the ongoing struggle by African Americans to participate freely in America's electoral democracy. Jumping forward to the present day, Pratt uses the march as a lens through which to examine disturbing recent debates concerning who should, and who should not, be allowed to vote. Drawing on archival materials, secondary sources, and eyewitness accounts of the brave men and women who marched, this gripping account offers a brief and nuanced narrative of this critical phase of the black freedom struggle.
