SELMA, Ala. Mar 6, 2005 — Aging civil rights-era figures and a bipartisan congressional delegation walked across an Alabama bridge with a throng of thousands Sunday to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the historic Selma voting rights march that opened ballot boxes to blacks across the South.

Among those participating was Coretta Scott King, whose husband, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., led the original march in 1965.
