| It's not much to look at, the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Its painted lines are faded, its elevated median, once yellow, is chipped down to naked concrete. Its metal frame, an iconic image of the civil rights era, rots with rust.
Yet, those who marched across it 40 years ago and again Sunday to commemorate the "Bloody Sunday" demonstration for voting rights, still get choked up about it.
