my pop was one of the soldiers sent to protect the marchers

The third march

A week after Reeb's death, the federal judge ruled in favour of the SCLC, preventing the state from blocking the marchers, weighing the right of mobility against the right to march:

"The law is clear that the right to petition one's government for the redress of grievances may be exercised in large groups . . . and these rights may be exercised by marching, even along public highways."

Exactly two weeks after Bloody Sunday, about 3,200 marchers set out from Selma to Montgomery, about 50 miles away. They walked about 12 miles (20 km) a day, sleeping in fields at night. By the time they reached the capitol on Thursday, March 25, [1965] their numbers had swollen to 25,000.
