The Triumph of Non-Violent Protest: The Selma Marches
February is Black History Month; a time to pause a bit and reflect on how Black History is American History, and to highlight the often untold or hidden stories we don't know nearly enough about. This week, we dive into one of the most important, and most effective, protests of the Civil Rights Era: The Selma Marches.
Join the Rebeccas as they take a deep dive into not only how the marches occurred, but why they occurred, linking them the broader Civil Rights movement that had already scored a number of significant wins by 1965, and explaining in detail why these marches were so successful.
