Nathan Bedford Forrest failed to prevent James H. Wilson's assault on this city. This city was the subject of a campaign by Amelia Boynton and supported by James Reeb in the wake of the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson, which was selected by James Bevel due to the noted volatility of Jim Clark. A group leaving this city, ostensibly to petition the Governor, attempted to cross Edmund Pettus Bridge and was savagely attacked by police officers, leading to the infamous "Bloody Sunday" in 1965. For 10 points, name this Alabama city, which became the departure point for three marches to Montgomery during the Civil Rights movement.
