7 marzo 1965 anni - Selma to Montgomery Marches

Descrizione:

This march was part of a series of civil-rights protests that occurred in 1965 in Alabama, a Southern state with serious racist policies. In March of that year, in an effort to register black voters in the South, protesters marching the 54-mile route from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery were confronted with deadly violence from local authorities and white vigilante groups. As a lot of people watched,the protesters—under the protection of federalized National Guard troops—finally achieved their goal, walking around the clock for three days to reach Montgomery.
