The statement that does NOT describe an obstacle overcome by Selma protest marchers is:

**"Ku Klux Klan members turned back marchers by blocking the road to Montgomery."**

During the Selma to Montgomery marches, the main opposition faced by the marchers came from state authorities, particularly the Alabama state troopers. While there were instances of Klan violence during this period, the more significant and documented obstacles came from law enforcement rather than organized Klan members blocking the march directly.
