Selma on Sunday marked the 60th anniversary of the clash that became known as Bloody Sunday .

The attack shocked the nation and galvanized support for the U.S. Voting Rights Act of 1965 .

The annual commemoration paid homage to those who fought to secure voting rights for Black Americans .

Trump has pushed to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the federal government.
