Brown Chapel A.M.E. ChurchBrown Chapel A.M.E. Church

This church was a starting point for the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965, and it played a major role in the events that led to the adoption of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The national reaction to Selma's "Bloody Sunday March" is widely credited with making the passage of the Voting Rights Act politically viable in the United States Congress.[15] Photo: Ron Cogswell from Arlington, Virginia, USA, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brown_Chapel_A.M.E._Church_410_Martin_Luther_King_St,_Selma_(AL)_March_2019_(47980895673).jpg)
