VOICE OVER: The bill's aim is to bring to fruition the goal of minority groups that
have stage protests throughout the nation.
This is a demonstration in Montgomery, Alabama lead by Martin Luther King.
In contrast to the violence of many marches, this one is held peacefully, with police blessing
and under permit.
The day before the marches had been dispersed by state troopers and Sheriff's deputies when
they marched without a permit.
Today troopers and deputies are absent. Only city police line the route of march.

The only sign of disorder was the blowing of horns by impatient motorists.
Not a club was raised in anger.
