DescriptionUnited States Army regulars serve as guards for the Selma to Montgomery marchers who are leaving Selma in Dallas County, Alabama in this black and white photograph. Two army men stand in the foreground of the photograph facing away from the viewer while the marchers walk in the background. The army men stand in uniform with jackets, gloves, and a belt with different items attached. On their heads they wear helmets with a white stripe going around the rim. They each have a bayonet pointed towards the sky in their right arms. The marchers walk on a paved and striped road. They wear coats and casual clothing. Some are holding small flags. The majority of the background shows a clear sky, telephone wires and a radio tower.On View
