The March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was set upon with violence when the marchers crossed the Edmund Petus Bridge. Local police used billy clubs, tear gas, cattle prods, and beat the marchers to show their resistance to voter rights and the freedom to petition for those rights on "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965.

Great images, hard to pick a winner
One of the first pictures taken with the endoscope. It shows a fetus in a pregnant woman. The picture was taken by Lennart Nilsson and showed to LIFE’s editors, they demanded that witnesses confirm that they were seeing what they thought they were seeing. The picture was considered many years the symbol of humanity.

I am skeptical of this image. To my eye this image does not appear to be of a fetus "inside" a woman's body. I'm not sure if this is a 'live' fetus, I'd need more confirmation of the actual photographic process. Anyone...?

One day in 1965, for instance, it was against Muni's rules for women to ride on the outside of the cars. Then, Mona Hutchin, 19, a student at the University of California at Berkeley, made her stand.
"She performed what may have been the first act of the women's liberation movement," local historian Christopher Swan wrote.
Hutchin refused the Muni crew's orders to move inside the car, and police took her down to the Hall of Justice. But the cops couldn't find any specific law against women riding on the outside, so Muni had to change its ways.

Okay let me start this off by saying i have no pictures and thank god cause i was born in 65. If my parents took pics I don't ever want to know cause the brownie camera they gave me is evil then.
While the war raged in Vietnam, Beatlemania struck the United States. The world had never seen anything like John, Paul, George, and Ringo before. Rubber Soul was one of the 4 albums the Beatles released in 1965.

If ever there were a "defining image" for any year, this is my choice for 1965. In part because of the clash of the anti-war movement and the unnecessary, unrighteous treatment of many veterans brought about from it, upon their returning home. This contrast, like many other similar contrasts, is kind of like this photo. An integration of time and space collage.(since it's actually more than one photo combined to make an image) I like some of the other answers exemplifying the struggle and wretched situation of the Vietnam war, and In the Doors self-titled album, are songs that were popular in a variety of moods and contexts. I actually have a Doors poster depicting vietnam with helicopters', fire below; the affect of explosives, burning on the edge of the jungle. I feel that this cover, along with "Strange Days," and "L.A. Women," are the best cover images and coincidently, also the best of their studio albums. To me, it in part, represents Jim's mystic and audacious expressions, their interest in cosmic forces, and an intriguing vision of an alternative reality exuded by the Majestic instrumental talent of "The Doors"- not including Jims harmonica dabbling; that doesn't count. (LOL)

The big event in 1965 was President Johnson's proclamation of the Great Society (Jan 4, 1965), a war against poverty and racism in America. It was a revamping of the New Deal, and is reflected in President Obama's own efforts today. I think that this picture says it all:
