Title: Dr. King arrested in voter drive.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-32117 DR. KING ARRESTED IN VOTER DRIVE SELMA, Ala. -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other Negroes kneel to pray as they are being taken to jail after being arrested in a voter registration drive. The noted Baptist minister and winner of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize was among 265 persons arrested on charges of parading without a permit as they walked to the Dallas County Courthouse to protest voter registration practices. In addition, some 500 students who stayed out of school to join the demonstration were arrested on truancy charges, while 37 adults were seized by police for contempt of court. Most of those apprehended were released without bail pending arraignment. Dr. King, however, remained in jail than post the $200 bond required for non-residents.

Title: White segregationist attacks Dr. King.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-32069 WHITE SEGREGATIONIST ATTACKS DR. KING SELMA, Ala. -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is confronted by a white segregationist outside the Dallas County Court House in Selma, Ala. The man later punched and kicked the noted Negro integration leader as he registered at a previously segregated hotel. The attacker was James Robinson, 26, of Birmingham, Ala., a member of the segregationist National States Rights Party. Police quickly seized Mr. Robinson and charged him with assault and disturbing the peace. Dr. King said later he was not hurt by the attack, suffering only a headache. The 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner and leading advocate of the non-violent movement against discrimination was in Selma to assist a voter registration drive.

Title: Selma march underway at long last.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-32321 SELMA MARCH UNDERWAY AT LONG LAST SELMA, Ala. -- This aerial view shows a half-mile long column of civil rights demonstrators -- including many clergy -- on the first leg of a 50-mile march to Montgomery, the state capital, in support of the Negro voter registration drive. The marchers -- an estimate 3,500 left Selma -- are shown crossing the Pettus Bridge, where the first scheduled freedom march was broken up by state troopers on Sunday, March 7. This time, the march was authorized by a federal court and was protected by Army and federalized Alabama National Guard troops. Leading the walk was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which has been spearheading the long registration effort. At the end of the five-day march along U.S. Highway 80, Negro leaders hoped to present a civil rights petition to Gov. George C. Wallace, who earlier declined to protect the demonstrators.
