The March on Selma, also known as the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965, was primarily sparked by systemic racial discrimination and voter suppression faced by African Americans in the South. The immediate catalyst was the brutal killing of civil rights activist Jimmie Lee Jackson by law enforcement during a peaceful protest. In response, leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference organized the march to demand voting rights and highlight the injustices faced by Black citizens, ultimately leading to increased national awareness and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
