The exhibition focuses on the historic 1965 March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to demand free-and-clear voting rights for African Americans. These powerful photographs capture the heroes of the Civil Rights movement – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and James Baldwin – but also the countless grass-roots organizers and anonymous marchers who risked everything to trudge a long, dusty, and violent path to equality.
