[0:04] From ABC News, this is World News

[0:08] Sunday. [music] Now from our Washington

[0:10] headquarters, here's Sam Donaldson.

[0:13] >> Good evening. The British Mine Workers

[0:14] Union threw in the towel today on the

[0:16] longest running labor dispute in the

[0:18] country's history. Union leaders voted

[0:20] narrowly to end a strike that began just

[0:22] short of a year ago and send the coal

[0:24] miners back to work on Tuesday. For

[0:26] Union President Arthur Scarill, a

[0:28] Marxist, it was a bitter defeat. And for

[0:30] Conservative Prime Minister Margaret

[0:32] Thatcher, a major political victory. The

[0:34] story from Bill Reder in London.

[0:40] >> It was an angry crowd of striking minors

[0:42] that demonstrated against their union's

[0:44] vote of 98 to 91 to end the year-long

[0:47] strike with many chanting they'd refused

[0:49] to return to work Tuesday.

[0:53] It was a disappointed mine worker

[0:55] President Arthur Scargill who was

[0:56] defeated by the union's delegates who

[0:58] ignored his recommendation to continue

[1:00] the strike.

[1:02] >> It has been the considered view of

[1:03] conference by very narrow vote that we

[1:06] should return on Tuesday and continue

[1:09] the fight.

[1:10] >> Although the longest major industrial

[1:12] strike in British history is now coming

[1:14] to an end, the union will press for

[1:16] amnesty for 700 miners fired during the

[1:19] strike for criminal offenses. The union

[1:22] also plans to continue its battle over

[1:23] the fundamental issue of the strike, the

[1:25] government's desire to close

[1:27] unprofitable coal mines. The miners

[1:30] maintain the closure of pits would

[1:31] result in thousands of lost jobs and the

[1:34] destruction of many mining communities.

[1:36] However, they never received strong

[1:38] public support because most people here

[1:40] suspected the strike was politically

[1:42] motivated.

[1:43] >> WE'VE COME TOO FAR. WE'VE SUFFERED TOO

[1:46] MUCH FOR ANY COMPROMISE with

[1:49] >> motivated by Scarill, a militant Marxist

[1:51] who depicted the strike as part of a

[1:53] class struggle.

[1:57] >> The level of violence on the picket line

[1:59] didn't help the minors either. While

[2:01] police were forceful, 70% of the British

[2:04] public blamed the miners for instigating

[2:06] many of the clashes. Two people died

[2:08] during the strike and more than 1,700

[2:11] were injured in battles like this one.

[2:14] In all, this country paid more than $3

[2:16] billion to police the strike and finance

[2:18] subsidies for power stations to burn

[2:20] more oil. But the biggest losers were

[2:23] the miners and their families. Out of

[2:25] work, out of money, sometimes out of

[2:28] food and shelter for an entire year.

[2:31] >> Our children are wearing secondhand

[2:32] clothes. And you think we're going to

[2:34] forget that? There's no way we're going

[2:36] to forget that. For the Conservative

[2:39] government of Prime Minister Margaret

[2:40] Thatcher, the collapse of the strike was

[2:42] a huge domestic triumph. But thatcher's

[2:45] hardline handling of the strike may

[2:46] deepen public opinion that she is

[2:48] dividing the country.

[2:50] >> You can never give into a strike which

[2:51] makes impossible demands that says no

[2:54] matter how much the pits may lose the

[2:55] taxpayers, Dr. Copper, you can't give

[2:57] into that.

[2:59] >> The resumption of mining is expected to

[3:00] add 1% to Britain's sagging economic

[3:03] growth. But by returning to work, both

[3:06] the union and the coal board have yet to

[3:08] reach an agreement on the cause of the

[3:09] strike, the closing of uneconomic mines,

[3:12] and the fate of 20,000 miners who are

[3:15] expected to lose their jobs. Bill Reder,

[3:18] ABC News, London. A delegation of Soviet

[3:21] officials led by a member of the ruling

[3:23] pullet bureau arrived in Washington

[3:25] today to sightsee, but to do some

[3:27] business on the propaganda front as

[3:28] well. The delegation leader meets with

[3:30] President Reagan on Thursday. But as

[3:32] Dennis Trout reports, today on arrival,

[3:35] he pitched his message to the public.

[3:37] The Soviets are here essentially to talk

[3:39] to Congressman, repaying a visit taken

[3:41] by some of them to the Soviet Union in

[3:43] 1983, where they met Soviet leader Yuri

[3:46] on Dropoff, just as this group will meet

[3:48] President Reagan Thursday. As they

[3:50] arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, their

[3:52] delegation leader seemed most intent on

[3:54] delivering a message on arms control to

[3:56] the US public and to the Reagan

[3:58] administration. Referring to the coming

[4:00] nuclear arms talks in Geneva, Bullet

[4:02] Bureau member Vladimir Sherbetsky might

[4:04] have been reading from a Ronald Reagan

[4:06] script calling for a reduction in

[4:08] nuclear arms.

[4:12] A successful outcome of the talks would

[4:16] be a major contribution to solving the

[4:20] first priority and the most important

[4:23] problem of today, which is removing the

[4:26] threat of nuclear war.

[4:28] >> As Sherbetsky spoke, Secretary of State

[4:30] George Schultz plane pulled up a few

[4:32] hundred yards away. Schultz just having

[4:34] returned from a Latin American trip. In

[4:36] an unusual display of warmth, Schultz

[4:38] waited to greet the Soviet delegates

[4:40] with handshakes and smiles and not a

[4:42] hint of the tough rhetoric so often

[4:44] heard from Washington. Each side had

[4:46] scored a point in the peace offensive,

[4:47] which so often precedes new arms

[4:49] negotiations.

[4:51] Even the cordiality of this chance

[4:52] beating shows that with the Geneva talks

[4:54] coming up, how high a value each side

[4:56] places on at least looking like

[4:58] peacemakers. Dennis Trout, ABC News,

[5:01] Andrews Air Force Base. Secretary of

[5:03] State Schultz was returning from Uruguay

[5:05] in a Chile meeting there with Nicaraguan

[5:07] President Daniel Ortega. On NBC,

[5:09] Schulz's deputy at state Kenneth Dam

[5:12] predicted Congress will eventually

[5:13] support the president's call to resume

[5:16] aid to the anti-sandinista Contras who

[5:18] are fighting Ortega's Marxist

[5:19] government. But Dam denied that the

[5:21] Contras are trying to topple that

[5:23] government. They are, he said, trying to

[5:25] have a dialogue with the Sandinistas.

[5:29] World News [music] Sunday brought to you

[5:31] by Brim Decaffeinated Coffee.

[5:35] >> Well, Mr. Editor, how do you rate it?

[5:39] >> On a scale of 1 [music] to 10, a 20.

[5:42] Now, about your next assignment.

[5:43] >> Oh, I'll pour the coffee.

[5:45] >> Uh, just half cup.

[5:46] >> You [music] You love fresh brewed

[5:48] coffee.

[5:48] >> Yeah, but the caffeine,

[5:50] >> Harry, it's brimmed decaffeinated

[5:51] coffee. So, [music] how do you rate it?

[5:55] >> M. If it tastes this rich, fill it to

[5:57] the rim

[5:58] >> with brim.

[5:59] >> Fill your cup to the rim with a rich

[6:01] taste of brim. [music]

[6:02] Also available in hearty dark roast.

[6:06] >> What's new from [music] Stoers Lean

[6:07] Cuisine?

[6:09] >> Chicken catchuri.

[6:12] [music]

[6:12] >> Fish jardiner with soule potatoes.

[6:15] >> Chicken all alar with almond rice.

[6:18] Stuffed cabbage and [music] tomato

[6:20] sauce.

[6:21] >> Linguini with clam sauce. Now I can pick

[6:25] from 18 [music] delicious Lean Cuisine

[6:26] entre. And each one is less than 300

[6:29] calories.

[6:30] >> Stoer's Lean Cuisine. It's not just

[6:32] [music] the calories that count. It's

[6:33] the taste.

[6:35] >> The Israeli cabinet gave the green light

[6:37] today to the army's continued withdrawal

[6:39] from Lebanon, approving the next phase

[6:41] of the withdrawal plan, a delicate

[6:43] operation of disengagement from a

[6:45] confrontation line with Syrian troops in

[6:47] the Becka Valley. An operation that is

[6:49] to begin immediately. Bob Zelnik has the

[6:52] details.

[6:54] Second in Israel's three-stage Lebanon

[6:56] withdrawal is expected to be completed

[6:58] in 6 to 12 weeks. This pullback will

[7:01] occur mainly in and around the Syrian

[7:03] held Baka Valley. It will involve the

[7:06] abandonment of several key high points

[7:08] including the intelligence fortress at

[7:10] top Jabel Baroo. Unlike stage one which

[7:13] centered about the populous Siden area,

[7:16] this withdrawal will leave such Shiite

[7:18] centers as Ty and Nabatia in Israeli

[7:20] hands. The slow withdrawal pace and

[7:23] mounting Israeli casualties have caused

[7:25] many Israelis to demand a faster return

[7:28] to their side of the border. Instead,

[7:30] Israel will continue its self-proclaimed

[7:33] iron fist tactics against Shiites

[7:35] suspected of hit-and-run attacks.

[7:38] For example, last week in Gibshet,

[7:40] Israeli troops conducted a

[7:42] house-to-house search, rounding up many

[7:44] villagers, interrogating suspected

[7:47] troublemakers, finding an arms catch in

[7:50] this house, then blowing it up.

[7:54] >> The closer these actions are to our

[7:57] northern border, the more emphatic, the

[8:00] more resolute we shall become.

[8:02] Ironically, the one big city to be

[8:04] affected in stage two is Jazine, a

[8:07] Christian stronghold, population 50,000.

[8:10] Many fear for their futures once the

[8:12] Israelis go. By invading and occupying

[8:16] South Lebanon, Israel drastically

[8:18] changed the balance of power among local

[8:20] factions, just as America did in

[8:22] Vietnam. And by pulling out, Israel is

[8:25] leaving its friends to the mercy of

[8:26] their enemies again like Vietnam. Bob

[8:30] Zelnik, ABC News, Jazine, South Lebanon.

[8:34] >> As the Israelis withdraw from Lebanon,

[8:36] some influential Arab leaders are urging

[8:37] the United States to return to the

[8:39] Middle East bargaining table as an

[8:40] active mediator, particularly in light

[8:42] of the recent Jordanian Palestinian

[8:44] agreement on a negotiating posture.

[8:46] Egypt's President Mubarak is among them.

[8:48] But the United States is reluctant to

[8:50] get directly involved. The latest in all

[8:53] this from John Dunvin in Cairo. The

[8:56] accord for peace that Jordan's King

[8:58] Hussein reached with Yaser Arafat 20

[9:00] days ago has shown signs ever since of

[9:02] meeting an early death. Now from Cairo

[9:05] comes a call for help to Washington to

[9:07] keep the Jordan PLO accord alive. And we

[9:10] thought a good followup would be to ask

[9:12] the US to invite a delegation combined

[9:16] of the a combined delegation of the

[9:19] Jordanians and the Palestinians to go to

[9:21] Washington or to come here to Cairo and

[9:24] sit down with them and ask because the

[9:26] US is definitely an important player. It

[9:29] is a full partner. It is an honest

[9:31] broker.

[9:31] >> It was Egypt's president Mubarak who

[9:33] first suggested last week that an

[9:35] American Palestinian conference be held

[9:37] in Washington. As Egypt views it, if the

[9:40] US can see eye to eye with at least some

[9:42] Palestinians, then chances improve for a

[9:45] dialogue between Israel and the

[9:47] Palestinians. But the US has already

[9:49] turned the idea down.

[9:50] >> But it's not clear yet that the parties

[9:53] are willing to engage in direct

[9:55] negotiations.

[9:56] >> But on ABC's This Week with David

[9:58] Brinkley, the idea heard some

[10:00] endorsement.

[10:01] >> There is a moment of opportunity in the

[10:02] present situation, and there are new

[10:04] elements in the situation. They're very

[10:07] important elements. When the United

[10:09] States chooses to involve itself subtly,

[10:12] quietly, or openly, more things happen,

[10:16] more useful things happen than when they

[10:18] do not. And

[10:18] >> what's clear is that the document signed

[10:20] by Hussein and Arafat last month is in

[10:23] danger of becoming meaningless. In it,

[10:25] they agreed to be a team in any future

[10:27] peace talks with Israel. But strains are

[10:30] showing already in the Jordan PLO

[10:32] relationship, mostly because not

[10:34] everyone in the PLO trusts King Hussein

[10:36] enough to be on the same team with him.

[10:38] But officials here in Cairo say those

[10:40] strains could be relaxed if the United

[10:42] States is willing to get involved

[10:44] because then they say more Palestinians

[10:46] may believe that the peace process is

[10:48] worth joining. John Don, ABC News,

[10:51] Cairo. The piece was shattered again

[10:53] this weekend near Guadalajara, Mexico,

[10:55] the city where a US drug enforcement

[10:57] agent was kidnapped earlier this month.

[11:00] Six people died in a gun battle during a

[11:02] federal police raid on a ranch house

[11:04] suspected of harboring drug traffickers.

[11:06] The dead included a family of five and a

[11:08] federal officer. No information about

[11:10] the kidnapped American agent was

[11:12] discovered. Meanwhile, nine remote

[11:14] crossing points on the US Mexican border

[11:16] have been closed after a tip that

[11:18] Mexican drug dealers plan to carry out

[11:20] more kidnappings and killings of US

[11:23] border officials.

[11:30] During peak hours at New York's Kennedy

[11:33] Airport, a plane lands every couple of

[11:36] minutes

[11:38] to land. What keeps these landings

[11:40] regular as clockwork is some

[11:41] groundto-air communication equipment

[11:44] built by the people of ITT.

[11:47] ITT radio equipment is used by airports

[11:50] around the world. Somewhere somebody is

[11:53] being brought home with it at this very

[11:55] minute.

[11:59] >> Tell the truth. Is there a really great

[12:02] tasting decaffeinated coffee?

[12:04] >> Oh yes. Tasters [music] choice

[12:06] decaffeinated. It's made with the same

[12:09] superior Arabica beans found in [music]

[12:11] gourmet coffee stores. Carefully roasted

[12:13] and using only natural decaffeinators

[12:16] for the purest coffee taste. [music]

[12:18] Only Tasters Choice uses this gourmet

[12:20] blend, Arabica Supreme.

[12:23] The more you know about [music] coffee,

[12:25] the more you'll know why the choice for

[12:27] taste is tasters choice.

[13:20] a little easier. [music]

[13:30] The news is good today for artificial

[13:32] heart patient Murray Hayden, who

[13:34] underwent new surgery yesterday to

[13:36] control internal bleeding in his chest

[13:37] cavity. Jerry King has the doctor's

[13:40] latest assessment from Louisville.

[13:42] Murray Hayden's doctors say they are

[13:44] generally satisfied with yesterday's

[13:46] 90-minute operation. A retired

[13:48] autoworker's condition is still being

[13:50] described as critical but stable.

[13:53] >> His vital signs are all within the

[13:54] normal range and his lungs and kidneys

[13:57] are functioning well. There is still

[13:59] some drainage from the chest cavity.

[14:01] This is to be expected with surgery

[14:03] patients who've had chest surgery. A

[14:06] small wound here in the right atrium had

[14:08] been bleeding and the blood had not been

[14:10] draining away. Yesterday's surgery was

[14:12] to close up the wound. The doctors say

[14:14] the amount of blood buildup is now

[14:16] decreasing gradually. The medical team

[14:19] called the blood seepage a complication,

[14:21] but not a major one. And today, through

[14:23] a spokesman, Dr. Dere said it could

[14:25] actually speed up Hayden's recovery.

[14:28] He expects that the operation will set

[14:30] him back 3 to 4 days in terms of the

[14:32] overall recovery plan, but longterm it

[14:35] probably will go faster now that they've

[14:36] got that breeding bleeding problem

[14:38] generally corrected. Hayden is back on a

[14:41] respirator as he was 10 days ago. The

[14:43] doctors hope to wean him off that within

[14:45] 2 or 3 days and then get him sitting up,

[14:48] perhaps standing, and if possible, they

[14:50] hope to move him out of the coronary

[14:52] care unit next week. So the day after

[14:55] his second major operation within two

[14:57] weeks, the optimism for Murray Hayden

[14:59] and the artificial heart program

[15:01] continues. Ironically, a human heart

[15:04] transplant once considered a major

[15:06] achievement was successfully conducted

[15:08] at this same hospital today. It was

[15:10] considered an almost routine event.

[15:16] The hot glare of publicity has descended

[15:18] today on top White House aid Michael

[15:19] Dver, but it may be unwanted. Newsweek

[15:22] magazine reports that while Dver and a

[15:24] party of administration officials were

[15:25] in Europe last week to prepare the way

[15:27] for President Reagan's May visit, the

[15:29] party bought nine BMW automobiles in

[15:32] Munich arranging through US embassy

[15:34] opaces to use their diplomatic passports

[15:37] to obtain discounts of about 25%.

[15:40] Newsweek says some White House staff

[15:41] members were outraged, but such special

[15:44] treatment was explained by Dver as a

[15:46] traditional perk for those holding

[15:48] diplomatic passports.

[18:18] Georgetown University played its final

[18:20] home game with Patrick Ewing. And

[18:22] Indiana University played its first game

[18:24] in 15 years without Bobby Knight and the

[18:26] results were not surprising. Georgetown,

[18:29] the country's number one team, concluded

[18:30] its regular season with a decisive

[18:32] victory over Syracuse as Yuing scored 15

[18:35] points. And Indiana lost to Iowa just as

[18:38] decisively as Knight sat out his oneame

[18:40] suspension for chair throwing. While

[18:43] Knight rested unhappily, another US

[18:45] Olympic hero, Mary Lou Rettton, returned

[18:48] to individual gymnastic competition and

[18:50] became the first woman to win the

[18:52] American Cup all-around championship

[18:54] three times in a row. Another young

[18:57] athletic star returned to competition

[18:58] this weekend, one even younger than

[19:00] Marylu. And this one thinks the

[19:02] breakfast of champions is oats. His name

[19:06] is Chief's Crown. And yesterday at

[19:08] Gulfream Park in Florida, he took his

[19:11] first serious steps as a three-year-old

[19:13] down a precarious path, the road to

[19:15] Louisville to run in the Kentucky Derby

[19:17] on the first Saturday in May. Chief's

[19:19] Crown has been one of the early Derby

[19:21] favorites because in 1984, climaxed by

[19:24] this victory in the Breeders Cup, he was

[19:26] the 2-year-old of the year. A handsome

[19:29] credential and a frightening one. The

[19:31] four previous two-year-olds of the year,

[19:33] including most recently Devil's Bag,

[19:35] never made it to the Derby. Victims of

[19:37] illnesses and injuries that shattered

[19:39] promising careers.

[19:41] >> Nobody realizes that a 1,000 lb, 1100

[19:44] lb, how many things can go wrong. They

[19:46] have sickness, uh the uh injuries,

[19:50] there's so many different things.

[19:52] They're they're extremely fragile.

[19:54] >> Roger Lauren is the gifted trainer whose

[19:56] job is to bring Chief's Crown to the

[19:58] Kentucky Derby fit and fast. Actually,

[20:02] it's it's pretty much fate. You have to

[20:04] depend upon you have to have good luck

[20:06] to make it.

[20:07] >> A couple of months ago, Chief's Crown

[20:09] developed a cough, then a fever. At the

[20:11] same time, a stablemate, a Philly, was

[20:13] also struck by a virus. For no good

[20:16] reason, the Philly died. Chief's Crown

[20:19] quickly recovered, but when his

[20:20] three-year-old racing debut was delayed

[20:22] until yesterday, rumors about his health

[20:25] circulated.

[20:25] >> He gets monitored all the 24 hours a day

[20:28] practically. The team that monitors

[20:30] Chief's Crown includes assistant trainer

[20:32] Steve Jordan, a former accountant, and

[20:34] groom Eddie Sweat, both of whom worked

[20:36] at Meadow Stable with Secretariat when

[20:38] the Big Horse won the Derby and the

[20:40] Triple Crown 12 years ago. But neither

[20:43] Chief's Crown's chief owner Andrew

[20:44] Rosen, who syndicated half the horse for

[20:47] $10 million last fall, nor his jockey,

[20:49] Don McBth, has ever had a Derby winner.

[20:52] Nor has Lauren, who ironically gave up

[20:54] his job as head trainer at Meadow Stable

[20:57] the year before Secretary had started

[20:59] racing. He recommended as his successor

[21:01] his father Lucienne Lauren who trained

[21:04] Secretary to the Triple Crown triumphs

[21:06] that have so far eluded Roger.

[21:08] >> If ever I had a chance, this is it.

[21:11] >> Chief's crown is royally bred, the

[21:13] grandson of Chris Ever, who won the

[21:14] triple crown for Phillies and of

[21:16] Secretariat. And the way he runs, he

[21:19] runs like a like his old granddaddy, you

[21:21] know, a little bit.

[21:22] >> This horse is more of a professional

[21:24] raceh horse. He wins only by as far as

[21:26] he has to win by.

[21:27] >> No one seriously suggests the Chief's

[21:29] Crown is another secretarian, perhaps

[21:31] the greatest raceh horse ever, but he

[21:33] surely is special.

[21:34] >> God forbid if nothing goes wrong, you

[21:36] know, but as of right now, at this stage

[21:37] in this career, he's all the potential

[21:39] to be just as good as a lot of the good

[21:41] ones.

[21:42] >> No one knew how well Chief's crown would

[21:44] run yesterday after a four-month layoff.

[21:46] And around his barn, the tension began

[21:48] building early in the day when Eddie's

[21:50] sweat washed him down after a dawn

[21:52] gallop, then reached its peak as his

[21:54] race, the Swale Stakes, approached. A

[21:57] master of tension, the mystery writer

[21:59] Dick Francis watched the Colt get set.

[22:02] Then in the race named after the

[22:03] Kentucky Derby champion who died

[22:05] stunningly and mysteriously last summer,

[22:08] Chief's Crown dispelled the rumors,

[22:10] silenced the doubters, and ran a strong

[22:12] winning race that may have increased his

[22:14] value to say $30 million or more. He

[22:18] posed for pictures in the winner's

[22:20] circle, then paraded back to his barn,

[22:22] passing at one point several of his

[22:24] major three-year-old rivals who were

[22:25] about to race in the Florida Derby.

[22:28] Proud Truth won that race, but his time

[22:30] was slow. His performance not quite so

[22:32] impressive as Chief's crowns. The Chief

[22:35] came out of his race healthy.

[22:37] >> I look at his head and he's he's got um

[22:41] an aggressive attitude. So if he has

[22:43] that, then I know pretty much everything

[22:44] is safe and sound.

[22:46] >> The chief was safe and sound last night,

[22:48] but his team won't stop worrying about

[22:50] him.

[22:51] >> Dead sweat, his groom worries, cigar

[22:53] galsome worries, the hot walker.

[22:55] Everyone under the shed worries a little

[22:56] bit because he gets to be uh your

[22:58] family.

[22:58] >> He's such a a good racing machine. You

[23:00] just don't want anything to diminish.

[23:02] You can't afford to lose 3% or 5% of his

[23:05] ability.

[23:05] >> Right now, Chief's crown seems to be

[23:08] 100%. Fit and fast enough to inspire

[23:11] dreams of a triple crown.

[23:14] >> Just one. That's just one. Then I'll

[23:17] I'll pack it in and give somebody else a

[23:19] chance.

[23:21] >> Chief's crown will probably run only

[23:23] twice more. Once in the Flamingo Stakes

[23:25] in Florida and once in Kentucky. And

[23:27] then if all goes well, he'll break the

[23:29] 2-year-old of the year jinx and start

[23:31] fresh and fit in the derby.

[23:36] [music]

[23:39] >> Chili burger burn it.

[23:41] >> Nothing like lingering over a nice lazy

[23:44] leisurely lunch. [music]

[23:45] And for that upset stomach trouble that

[23:47] can come from eating on the double,

[23:48] there's new chewable alchem fast fast

[23:51] relief people of Alka-Seltzer. It would

[23:53] take both a tums and a rolls to get more

[23:56] strength than one alchem. No leading

[23:58] tablet works better. So after your next

[24:01] relaxing meal,

[24:03] >> there's new alchem with a strength of

[24:06] two. It's the one to chew.

[24:09] A day in the life of a Commodore 64.

[24:14] [music]

[24:20] [music]

[24:27] [music]

[24:33] But Commodore 64, once you get it,

[24:35] [music] you'll wonder how you got along

[24:37] without it.

[24:39] Monday, civil rights 20 years after the

[24:42] [music] March on Selma on Good Morning

[24:44] America.

[24:46] >> 20 years ago this Sunday, a group of

[24:48] marchers set out from Selma, Alabama for

[24:50] Montgomery to dramatize their fight for

[24:52] equal voting rights. At the Edund Pettis

[24:55] Bridge, the marchers ran into trouble.

[24:57] But it didn't stop them in the long run.

[24:59] For as James Wooten recalls, the

[25:01] confrontation there on that bloody

[25:03] Sunday reverberated throughout the

[25:05] country and helped speed the fulfillment

[25:07] of the marcher's cause.

[25:09] >> You can turn your back on me, but you

[25:12] cannot turn your back upon the idea of

[25:14] justice.

[25:14] >> The issue was basic, the right to vote.

[25:17] When blacks tried to register, the

[25:19] whites refused. And more.

[25:24] >> [applause]

[25:27] >> That's Sheriff Jim Clark, the ultimate

[25:29] symbol of an intrigent society

[25:32] challenged in Selma by Martin Luther

[25:34] King Jr. and hundreds of black people

[25:37] who decided to move their protest to the

[25:39] state capital 50 mi away. But scores of

[25:42] state troopers were waiting for them on

[25:44] the bridge at the edge of town. John

[25:46] Lewis was at the front of the column.

[25:48] They came toward us, beating us, using

[25:51] tear gas, tramping us with horses,

[25:54] beating us with bullps. I was hit in the

[25:57] head and left lying in the streets uh

[25:59] unconscious. It was a day to remember,

[26:02] which is what many who marched on that

[26:04] bloody Sunday did today, returning to

[26:07] the little church where their journey

[26:08] had begun to celebrate its meaning AND

[26:11] ITS IMPACT.

[26:12] SELMA TELLS ME THERE WERE 400 BLACK

[26:16] OFFICIALS AND NOW THERE ARE 6,000. WHEN

[26:19] I GET TO THE LANDMARK, MY SOUL REJOICES

[26:23] AT HOW FAR WE'VE COME. WE COME OUT OF

[26:25] THE CHURCH WHERE GOD SAID THE EARTH IS

[26:28] MINE.

[26:29] >> ALL MY CHILDREN HAVE A right

[26:32] >> connected a portion of that earth.

[26:34] >> That's what we're marching about today.

[26:35] And finally, we marching because

[26:39] everything has changed and nothing has

[26:40] changed. He's right. Selma isn't what it

[26:43] used to be. And yet, after 20 years,

[26:46] it's still a town with two separate

[26:48] communities, one white, one black. But

[26:51] Mayor Joe Smitherman, who was mayor back

[26:53] then as well, represents an important

[26:56] attitudinal change. But

[26:57] >> today, we recognize all Americans should

[27:00] have had the right to vote, and we were

[27:01] wrong then.

[27:02] >> Selma was not one of America's lovelier

[27:05] memories. It was, in fact, an ugly

[27:07] place, scarred by meanness and madness

[27:09] and murder. But it was also a place

[27:12] where, as President Johnson put it, fate

[27:14] and history came together to shape a

[27:17] society. A society that would never

[27:19] again be the same after that Sunday.

[27:22] Within 6 months, the Voting Rights Act

[27:24] was signed into law and a revolution

[27:27] began in the politics of the South.

[27:29] Blacks were voting. And so they marched

[27:32] across the bridge again today, but this

[27:34] time the troopers were helping things

[27:36] along. And this time there was no

[27:39] meanness and no madness and no murder in

[27:42] Selma on this Sunday. Only the

[27:44] remembrance of a courage that helped to

[27:47] change the country.

[27:50] >> Jim Wooten, ABC News, Selma, Alabama.

[27:54] That's our report for tonight. Tom

[27:56] Gerald will have more news later on the
