The first march, known as “Bloody Sunday,” saw peaceful protesters brutally attacked by state troopers as they attempted to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. This event drew national attention and helped galvanize support for voting rights legislation.
Additionally, March 7th marks the birth of the renowned Dutch painter Piet Mondrian in 1872. Mondrian is best known for his abstract art characterized by geometric shapes and primary colors, which had a profound influence on modern art and design.
