This was a great resource to use with my special day class students! They were able to access the material easily in a fun clear way. It was great for supplementing my lesson and I was also able to use it in a pinch for a substitute- thanks!

About the film: On March 7, 1965, 600 civil rights activists left Selma, Alabama, on foot, marching for dignity and equality.
Eighteen days, 54 miles, one police attack, 1,900 National Guard troops, 2,000 U.S. Army soldiers and countless stories later, they arrived in Montgomery—and changed history.
This film tells the story of a courageous group of 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 Selma-to-Montgomery legacy includes the sacrifices of young people whose history is seldom told. Share their stories with your students.
