Selma, Alabama: A Black youth, his eyes closed from tear gas, holds an unconscious black woman after club-swinging Alabama State Troopers broke up the Selma to Montgomery March on March 7th. Scores of Blacks were treated for injuries as a result of the melee. The Selma situation is the worst civil rights crisis the Nation has faced since Little Rock, where Federal Troops were used to halt rioting. It is reported that members of local Sheriff Jim Clark's hated volunteer posse went through Selma early today clubbing blacks and beating on car bonnets. 9 March 1965
