More than 400 black and white Americans.

The Freedom Ride had a group of people, black and white, who rode a bus around the south. The blacks and whites were trying to prove a point about how blacks aren’t different because of their skins. The bus would take them to bathrooms and gas stations to where the blacks would use the whites restroom or their water fountains. Some got beaten, threatened, and even taken to jail because of this act.Question 2:The event was important because people risked their lives to try and show people what’s right and that the color of their skin doesn’t matter.

There ended up being 3 total marches that made up the Selma March

From Selma, Alabama to the state capitol of Montgomery

Martin Luther King led thousands of nonviolent demonstrators to the steps of the capitol in Montgomery after a 5 day, and 54-mile march

Involving the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)

Also known as “Bloody Sunday”

As they started heading east on U.S. route 80 they got six blocks away from Selma and were attacked with billy clubs and tear gas

The people who attacked were state lawmen and local lawmen

Two days after the attack Martin Luther King Jr. led a symbolic march to the bridge

Finally the leaders sought out the court for more protection for a third, full scale march to the state capitol of Montgomery

The Selma March was important because they were demanding an end to discrimination in voter registration

As a result President Johnson signs the Voting Rights Act

In Selma 40 years ago there was a bridge that separated the  blacks and the whites

The planned march traveled right through the Ku Klux Klan

600 people were planned to participate in the first march, 1,000 in the second

This was known as the most successful piece of civil rights legislation ever adopted by U.S. Congress

The march was not started at the time planned because they were waiting for King to get back from Atlanta

The march has been reenacted many times on its anniversary. In 2015, President Barack Obama marked the 50th anniversary of the march by delivering a speech at the foot of the Emund Pettus Bridge in Selma.
