The first attempt to march on March 7 was aborted because of mob and police violence against the demonstrators. This day has since become known as [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Selma_to_Montgomery_marches][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff]Bloody Sunday[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25]. Bloody Sunday was a major turning point in the effort to gain public support for the Civil Rights Movement, the clearest demonstration up to that time of the dramatic potential of King's nonviolence strategy. King, however, was not present. After meeting with President [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff]Lyndon B. Johnson[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25], he decided not to endorse the march, but it was carried out against his wishes and without his presence on March 7 by local civil rights leaders. Footage of [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Police_brutality][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff]police brutality[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] against the protesters was broadcast extensively and aroused national public outrage.[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-62][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff][63][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25]
King next attempted to organize a march for March 9. The SCLC petitioned for an injunction in federal court against the State of Alabama; this was denied and the judge issued an order blocking the march until after a hearing. Nonetheless, King led marchers on March 9 to the Edmund Pettus bridge, then held a short prayer session before turning the marchers around and asking them to disperse so as not to violate the court order. The unexpected ending of this second march aroused the surprise and anger of many within the local movement.[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-63][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff][64][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] The march finally went ahead fully on March 25.[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-64][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff][65][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] At the conclusion of the march and on the steps of the [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Alabama_State_Capitol][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff]state capitol[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25], King delivered a speech that has become known as "[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/How_Long,_Not_Long][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff]How Long, Not Long[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25]".[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-65][u][size=25][color:dd46=#0000ff][66][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25]
