Short story:

Six hundred civil rights marchers in Selma, Alabama, USA, are attacked by state and local police with billy clubs and tear gas. Seventeen marchers are hospitalized and this incident will live on in infamy as Bloody Sunday. It will also provide the inspiration for the line "Take a look around, to Selma, Alabama" in the apocalyptic No1 hit single Eve Of Destruction by Barry McGuire.
