From April 12-29, Auburn University and Alabama State University, or ASU, is hosting a joint exhibit at ASU of more than 50 historic photographs taken on Sunday, March 7, 1965, during the "Bloody Sunday" protests in Selma, Alabama. The exhibit is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT and is located at the Tullibody Fine Arts Center, Warren-Britt Art Gallery, 915 S Jackson St., Montgomery, Alabama.

The collection includes rare surveillance images taken by Alabama Law Enforcement Agency officers that provide an up-close look at the courageous “foot soldiers” who crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge to demand their constitutional right to vote.
