Selma: The Bridge to the Ballot

Selma: The Bridge to the Ballot is the story of a courageous group of Alabama students and teachers who, along with other activists, fought a nonviolent battle to win voting rights for African Americans in the South. Standing in their way: a century of Jim Crow, a resistant and segregationist state, and a federal government slow to fully embrace equality. By organizing and marching bravely in the face of intimidation, violence, arrest and even murder, these change-makers achieved one of the most significant victories of the civil rights era.

The sessions are free and open to the public, donations encouraged; registration is required by emailing cfhr1@juno.com or calling the Centerís office (713) 520-8226.
