While setting up a defensive position in his front, Forrest sent his veteran troops to attack the rear of Wilson’s column.

HE CIVIL RIGHTS Movement is sometimes called The Civil Rights Struggle for a very good reason. After decades of oppression, it took years of peaceful protest in the face of violent opposition to finally achieve voting rights for African Americans. Much of the struggle Ttook place in and around Selma, including one of its seminal moments, the Selma to Montgomery March. In 1965, hundreds of voting rights advocates, both black and white, set off on foot to Montgomery to the Capitol Building to take their grievances right to Governor George Wallace’s doorstep. Smaller protest marches had been held in the months prior, and on February 18 in nearby Marion, police shot 26-year- old Jimmie Lee Jackson who was protecting his mother and grandfather from assault. His senseless death motivated the Selma to Montgomery March. On March 7, Reverend Hosea Williams and John Lewis stepped from the pulpit of Brown Chapel Church and led a group of 600 toward Montgomery. After just six blocks, when they crossed the now infamous Edmund Pettus Bridge over the Alabama River, Sheriff Jim Clark’s deputies and state troop- ers dispatched by Gov. Wallace attacked the group with nightsticks and tear gas, injuring dozens. The scene was caught on film and broadcast on television networks across America. National leaders and the rest of the country saw first-hand how intense the struggle had become. The event came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.” The violence stopped the marchers’ first attempt, but they would not be silenced or stopped for good. Two weeks later, under the protection of Ala- bama National Guardsmen and Army troops, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. set off again from Selma and marched along U.S. Hwy. 80 to the capital city. They walked during the day and slept in the fields at night, covering the 54 miles between Selma and Montgomery in four days and gathering without incident in front of the State Capitol. By that time the crowd was 25,000 strong. The murder of Viola Liuzzo, a 39-year-old mother of five from Detroit who was shot while shuttling marchers back to Selma, finally spurred Presi- dent Lyndon Johnson to push the Voting Rights Bill through Congress. After Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act on August 6, some 7,000 African Americans registered to vote in Dallas County and defeated the segregationist sheriff who had led the “Bloody Sunday” attack. The ultimate success of the Civil Rights Movement came on the backs of regular citizens fighting the powers that be and is resounding proof of what ordinary people can do when fighting a righteous cause.

WHEN TRAVELING NORTH OF SELMA, people will notice a small community with open land, hills with trees, and many houses scattered along the way. There is a volunteer fire department, beautiful churches, and various businesses. When most people hear of Valley Grande, many are not familiar with its name. In 1821, Valley Grande was known to be an area given to Dr. George Phillips by the Federal government. Phillips had built a three-storied home that was called Grand View. During the Civil War, this spectacular home was burned to the ground by Wilson’s Raiders. However, once people moved to the area throughout the years, it was soon called Valley Grande. This community includes “Sum- merfield,” who was named after a Methodist preacher, John Summerfield, and Ocmulgee. As of 2017, the population of Valley Grande has 3,713 residents. These residents support their businesses and love the people in the area. Valley Grande is popular for several different reasons. People visit the community on a daily basis for the great food at restaurants like R & B Barbecue or Valley Grande Mexican Restaurant. Dave’s Market is a popular grocery store. In addition, the area has its fan food and convenience, it also has fun and relaxation. With all the open space in Valley Grande, there are places to play golf, go on a picnic, play baseball, or go to the pool. The Valley Grande Golf Course has a beautiful green and after playing on the course, there is comfort food available at Tin Cup. Even if you are not a big golfer, take a day to exercise at the Valley Grande City Park. The park has a nice and peaceful walking area with a playground in the center. Also, the park has an area for families to bring picnic lunches and throw parties or reunions at the site. Summers in Valley Grande are normally busy and fun for this community. If people are not attending Valley Grande City Park, kids and families will be next door at the Valley Grande Sports Complex, or down the road at the Valley Grande Pool. The community has a tight bond with each other and helping one another. They support businesses and believe there is no place like home.
