Original Note:
Those marching in the Selma to Montgomery marches of 1865, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., did not prevent the flow of traffic on Edmund Pettus Bridge. They only occupied one side of the bridge in their court approved protest, which allowed for the flow of traffic. https://www.crmvet.org/images/imgmont.htm https://www.history.com/news/selma-bloody-sunday-attack-civil-rights-movement https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/selma-montgomery-march
