- Summary
- Published 40 years ago, this book remains the standard account of the direct nonviolent action in Selma, Alabama to register African-Americans as voters. It led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act, signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965, to overcome barriers imposed at the state and local levels to prevent black Americans from registering and voting in elections.
