Thousands of demonstrators, including children, participated, facing violent opposition. The images of brutality sparked national outrage and garnered widespread media attention. The march contributed to the push for civil rights legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and highlighted the need for systemic change in America regarding racial equality and justice.
