content: A black-and-white digital image of marchers crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The marchers take up the entire right side of the bridge road, some are holding signs above their heads. The left side roadway of the bridge is empty, with a few people standing on the sidewalk watching the marchers. In the front of the image, three cars frame the bottom facing the viewer. The car on the left has a giant video camera and the two on the right have passengers standing. Men in between the cars, including some in military garb, can be seen approaching the marchers. Three signs can be seen on the bridge, [ALABAMA / RIVER], [NO / PARKING / ON / BRIDGE], and [LOW / CLEARANCE / 15 FT. 1 IN]. Brick buildings can be seen in the background of the bridge on the right of the image, with one labeled [THOMPSONS].
