Jonquils push through the ground like horns resounding with the song of spring and forsythia adorns itself in gold.1 March can also fulfill the proverb “comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb.” Alabama’s March of 1965 offered cold, wet, windy weather up until the end. But a different wind blew through Selma that month—the wind of discontent and change. For the first three months of 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), had conducted a voter registration drive in central Alabama’s Black Belt counties.
