Chapter 6 describes whats going on in Selma at the time. Dorothy had contacted Martin Luther King Jr. about her problems getting registered to vote, and so he came to see her and made plans to march from Selma to Montgomery before Malcolm X does. The march was planned well, but Dr. King wrote it down wrong on his calendar and didn't end up coming. During the march on March 7, 1965, police injured and killed many blacks. This day became known as Bloody Sunday.
