The Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., was the battleground 42 years ago in the fight to assure black Americans the right to vote. Today, it was the battleground in the contest for the Democratic nomination for president.
Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama attended Selma's Bloody Sunday anniversary events. They were later joined by former president Bill Clinton in a brief march to commemorate the 1965 voting-rights event.
