These are additional memorials in the park at the foot of the Pettus Bridge. A second march to Montgomery was started with Martin Luther King, Jr., in the lead. |

The second march proceeded over the
bridge.
But Alabama officials had secured a U.S. Court injunction prohibiting the second march. |

At this intersection on the other side
of the Pettus Bridge, Alabama State Police stopped the second march.
Rev. King refused to disobey a U.S. Court Order. The marchers peacefully turned around and walked back to Selma. |

Legend has it in Selma that this is the general area where the Rev. James Reeb was struck and killed with a club. Reeb was a white minister from Boston who came to Selma to support voting rights. |
