In this very eloquent speech to the full Congress,President Lyndon B.Johnson used the phrase "we shall overcome," borrowed from African-American leaders struggling for equal rights.
The speech was made on March 15,1965,a week after deadly racial violence erupted in Selma,Alabama,as African-Americans were attacked by police while preparing to march to Montgomery to protest voting rights discrimination.
Discrimination took the form of literacy,knowledge or character tests administered solely to African-Americans to keep them from registering to vote.
Civil rights leader Rev.Martin Luther King and over 500 supporters planned to march from Selma to Montgomery to register African-Americans to vote.The police violence that erupted resulted in the death of a King supporter,a white Unitarian Minister from Boston named James J.Reeb.
A second attempt to march to Montgomery was also blocked by police.It took Federal intervention with the 'federalizing' of the Alabama national guard and the addition of over 2000 other guards to ensure protection and allow the march to begin.
On March 21,1965 the march to Montgomery finally began with over 3000 participants,under the glare of worldwide news publicity.
