McLaughlin, CNN © Tom Lankford/The Birmingham News/AP Albert Turner and Bob Mants walk directly behind fellow civil rights stalwarts Hosea Williams and John Lewis, but most of the marchers who took part that day remain unidentified.

She and her grandmother, Julia Barnes, joined the voting rights marchers, filing in at the back of the column, but turned back because the elder, an asthmatic, grew short of breath. The girl s grandmother, who raised her, lived in George Washington Carver Homes, across the street from the Brown Chapel AME Church, where marchers congregated before heading across the Edmund Pettus Bridge into what late civil rights icon John Lewis called a sea of blue a phalanx of state troopers standing ready to brutalize the peaceful demonstrators.
