(Part of the Lucent Library of Black History Series)
No Customer Reviews
In 1965, a series of historic marches took place on the fifty-four-mile highway stretching from Selma, Alabama to the state capital of Montgomery. Nonviolent activists and demonstrators rallied together to protest the racial injustices that prevented the African American community from exercising their constitutional right to vote. This compelling edition describes the demonstrations that took place in Selma and the violence that met the protesters in their attempt to march to the state capitol building in Montgomery. The book also explores the reforms that occurred as a result of the protests, as well as the impact of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
