The Bridge of Terror is a fictional novella based on a historical event that took place in the United States during the civil rights movement. On March 7, 1965, a peaceful demonstration from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, took a violent turn at the Edmund Pettus Bridge when state troopers and members of the Ku Klux Klan attacked the group of about 600 men, women, and children.
National news outlets reported live footage on television of the shocking brutality the marchers received. The world became outraged by the violence and initiated actions that led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
This story details the encounters of a young girl, Carrie Johnson, and her friend, Mary Lou, who participated in the event that would forever be remembered as Bloody Sunday.
