Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegregated the South, discrimination was still rampant, making it very difficult for black citizens to register to vote.

In 1965, an Alabama city became the battle ground in the fight for suffrage.

Despite violent opposition, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (David Oyelowo) and his followers pressed forward on an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, and their efforts culminated in President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

An epic award winning movie not to be missed.

Deadline for transportation reservations is 11:30 on Tuesday, February 23.
