Selma is a city in and the county seat of Dallas County, in the Black Belt region of south central Alabama and extending to the west. Located on the banks of the Alabama River, the city has a population of 20,756 as of the 2010 census.
The city is best known for the 1960s Selma Voting Rights Movement and the Selma to Montgomery marches, beginning with "Bloody Sunday" in March 1965 and ending with 25,000 people entering Montgomery at the end of the last march to press for voting rights. This activism generated national attention to social justice and that summer, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed by Congress to authorize federal oversight and enforcement of constitutional rights of all citizens.
It had been a trading center and market town during the years of King Cotton in the South. It was also an important armaments manufacturing and iron shipbuilding center during the Civil War, surrounded by miles of earthen fortifications. The undermanned Confederate forces were defeated during the Battle of Selma.
Alabama (i/ˌæləˈbæmə/) is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama is the 30th-most extensive and the 24th-most populous of the 50 United States. At 1,300 miles (2,100 km), Alabama has one of the longest navigable inland waterways in the nation.
From the American Civil War until World War II, Alabama, like many states in the South, suffered economic hardship, in part because of continued dependence on agriculture. Despite the growth of major industries and urban centers, White rural interests dominated the state legislature from 1901 to the 1960s, as it did not regularly reapportion the legislature from 1901 to 1961; urban interests and African Americans were markedly under-represented. African Americans and poor whites were essentially disenfranchised altogether by the state constitution of 1901, a status that continued into the mid-1960s before being alleviated by federal legislation. Exclusion of minorities continued under at-large voting systems in most counties; some changes were made through a series of omnibus court cases in the late 1980s to establish different electoral systems.

Edmund Winston Pettus (July 6, 1821 – July 27, 1907) was an American lawyer, soldier, and legislator. He served as a Confederate general during the American Civil War, during which he was captured three times. After the war he was a Grand Dragon of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan and a Democratic U.S. Senator.
The Edmund Pettus Bridge across the Alabama River in Selma, Alabama, was named in his honor, ironically later becoming a landmark of the African-American Civil Rights Movement.
Edmund W. Pettus was born in 1821 in Limestone County, Alabama. He was the youngest son of John Pettus and Alice Taylor Winston, brother of John J. Pettus, and a distant cousin of Jefferson Davis. Pettus was educated in local public schools, and later graduated from Clinton College located in Smith County, Tennessee.
Pettus then studied law in Tuscumbia, Alabama, under William Cooper and was admitted to the state's bar association in 1842. Shortly afterward he settled in Gainesville and began practicing as a lawyer. On June 27, 1844, Pettus married Mary L. Chapman, with whom he would have three children. Also that year he was elected solicitor for the seventh Judicial Circuit of Alabama.
After the cameras and crowds leave Selma after a week of celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr. marching thousands across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to Montgomery, Alabama, all that's left is a struggling town where bullets are common background noise and the memory of what happened on that bridge is all but a distant memory.

I put this together after asking a few friends if they had ever heard of Selma or the importance of Selma's history. Almost everyone I spoke to knew nothing of Selma, including my daughter a senior in high school. Music by Don King and Dennis Johnson..
I was able to interview some teenagers while walking to the Edmund Pettus bridge. Boy was I pleasantly surprised at their ability to interact with an outsider. Still it is a very sobering and debilitating situation for young Black men growing up in the shadows of a city which has symbolized the worst of America.
Selma, which is one of Alabama’s oldest cities, takes great pride in its heritage. Markers and monuments dot the landscape and visitors holding a wide array of historical interests come to visit the old city. At Selma, you’ll find the largest historic district in Alabama – with over 1,200 historic structures which include beautiful churches, antebellum and Victorian homes, and landmarks associated with both the nation’s Voting Rights Movement and the Battle of Selma.

Basically the only thing I knew of Alabama was the turbulent past of the civil rights movement. We got off the main interstate and took some of the back roads and found a beautiful rural setting that is present in many southern states. A statement to how things are is a lack of fences and window bars. Still the state has a history that everyone should be aware of especially the young. Freedom and rights come with a price. The Selma to Montgomery marches were three marches in 1965 that marked the political and emotional peak of the American civil rights movement. They grew out of the voting rights movement in Selma, Alabama, launched by local African-Americans who formed the Dallas County Voters League (DCVL). In 1963, the DCVL and organizers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Co...

He honestly believed that he was going to change the game and bring his city together to take over the music industry and make Alabama's presence felt, so he was prepared to do whatever it took to accomplish that goal. That pure will power alone is enough to move a mountain, it along with undeniable raw talent, it was only a matter of time.
