The Voting Rights Act of 1965 ended the discriminatory practices against Black voters that were prevalent in many states.

Alabama this weekend is marking the 60th anniversary of a key event in the civil rights movement, when voting rights marchers were attacked in Selma on March 7, 1965.

Della Simpson Maynor was just 14 when she marched for voting rights in her hometown of Marion, Alabama, but she says she clearly remembers the police attacking the demonstrators.
