In the shadow of the Edmund Pettus Bridge where civil rights marchers were beaten back by state troopers, Sam Walker leads tours of the National Voting Rights Museum.
Walker sees parallels between what happened in Selma then and the resistance to Obama's health care plan now:
"Anytime there's change, people's going to resist change. People who would abuse you in 1965, I don't think all the people that did the abusing were bad people. But they were afraid of change. And they was trying to hold on to that last little bit of control that they thought they had. So that's the same thing that's coming back 44 years later."
