In this episode, “Marching for the Vote,” we learn about the Voting Rights protests in 1965 in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, the violent resistance to them, and how the Civil Rights Movement ultimately triumphed.
It features Betty Strong Boynton, Wanda Howard Battle, Sekou Franklin, Brenna Wynn Greer, Frye Gaillard, Glenn Eskew and Ed Bridges.
The Alabama Civil Rights Trail Podcast is a series where historians and experts help us explore some of the most significant events of the Movement that happened in the state.
We also share the real stories of people who were there and who made a difference. And we learn why what took place then is still so relevant to us today.
After listening to the podcast, follow the actual Alabama Civil Rights Trail through Anniston, Birmingham, Selma, Montgomery and many other places in the state.
