in the National Register for their association with the modern
civil rights movement, as well as the Selma-to-Montgomery March
route, this is a virtual tour created by the National Parks Service

an introductory history of the centuries-long struggle of African
Americans to achieve the bright promise of America, culminating
in the mid-20th century heroic campaign called the modern civil
rights movement. Other sections on the historic sites, the players,
and more, combine to make this Web site a comprehensive, authoritative,
