- They had attempted to march to the courthouse across the street from the Zion United Methodist Church, but law enforcement officers blocked them. Jackson's subsequent death on February 26 led to "Bloody Sunday," an attempted voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery during which peaceful demonstrators were attacked by law enforcement officers.
