Presented by the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, this true story chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Martin Luther King Jr. led a campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, culminated in President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement.
Following the movie, Rev. Nicholas Ayo, C.S.C., professor emeritus in the Program of Liberal Studies who took part in the historic voter rights march, will offer his reflections.
