March 25, 1965: Mississippi Highway Patrolmen watch marchers arrive in Montgomery from Selma.

Its hard to believe that only 40 years ago this is what "Protect and Serve" ment. The Birmingham News found a huge stash of photos from the mid 1950s to the mid 60s covering the civl right movement. They have posted some of them in an online gallery. Please take a look and realize how far we have come, as well as how far we have yet to go.
