DescriptionIn this black and white photograph a group of marchers walking on Oak Street in Montgomery Alabama during the Selma to Montgomery marches. A narrow view of a paved street with a white line in the middle takes up the bottom half of the photograph. The top half shows a crowd of marchers carrying multiple flags of the United States of America. Leading these marchers is a line of men and women walking mid-stride. In order from the left to the right there is Reverend Ralph Abernathy, his wife Mrs. Juanita Abernathy, United Nations Ambassador Ralph Bunch, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his wife Mrs. Coretta Scott King, and Reverend Frederick Reese. All of them are wearing formal clothing and are walking with their arms and hand linked together. In the background the sky and several buildings can be seen lining the street.On View
