The goal of the plan was to use tactics of non-violent protest to provoke Birmingham civic and business leaders to agree to desegregate. 
Thousands of children were trained in the tactics of non-violence. On May 2nd, they left the 16th Street Baptist Church in groups, heading throughout the city to protest segregation peacefully. One of their goals was to talk to the mayor of Birmingham about segregation in their city. On the first day of the protest, hundreds of children were arrested. By the second day, Commissioner of Public Safety ordered police to spray the children with powerful water hoses, hit them with batons, and threaten them with police dogs. On May 5th, protesters marched to the city jail where many of the young people were still being held. They sang protest songs and continued their tactics of non-violent demonstration. Finally, local officials had agreed to meet with civil rights leaders and hash out a plan to end the protests.
City leaders finally agreed to desegregate business and to free all who had been jailed during the demonstrations. Weeks later, the Birmingham board of education announced that all students who had been involved in the Children’s Crusade would be expelled. This decision was ultimately overturned by the court of appeals.]]> 2018-05-23 21:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kdod2759/vet38gskksan/wish/263169752 jmar7119 https://padlet.com/kdod2759/vet38gskksan/wish/263170518 The Selma to Montgomery marches were three protest marches, held in 1965, along the 54-mile (87 km) highway from Selma, Alabama to the state capital of Montgomery.
