The Second March from Selma to Montgomery was banned by Federal District Court Judge Frank Minis Johnson when, after the marchers attemptede to gain a court order to prevent police interference, he issued a restraining order preventing the march from happening, until he could hold additional hearing later in the week.
The march leaders stood by this restraining order, knowing that he would lift it later and not wanting to upset one of the few southern judges who was often sympathetic to their cause.
I don't remember an "incident" inspiring the march. My memory is that it was a protest march over Alabama making it difficult for black people to vote. The voting rights act had been passed recently but Alabama was still resisting.

Television played a huge part in the success of the march from Selma to Montgomery. This is because more people saw the march than could have ever been seen without world-wide television. This way, people knew of what was happening in Alabama.
1.) There were a bunch of people who attended it. 2.) Martin Luther King Jr. was the leader. 3.) They traveled from Selma to Montgomery.
John Lewis is remembered for the Selma to Montgomery marches and March on Washington for Jobs and freedom of 1963.

The march from Selma to Montgomery, known as the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965, aimed to protest racial discrimination in voting. Organized by civil rights leaders, the marches sought to highlight the systemic barriers African Americans faced when trying to register to vote. The movement culminated in a significant demonstration at the Alabama state capitol, drawing national attention to the struggle for voting rights and ultimately contributing to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The 1965 March to Selma, also known as the Selma to Montgomery marches, was a pivotal event in the American civil rights movement. Organized to protest racial discrimination and voting rights for African Americans, the first march, known as "Bloody Sunday," occurred on March 7, when marchers were violently confronted by law enforcement at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The brutality captured national attention, leading to widespread outrage and support for the civil rights cause. Subsequently, the marches culminated in a successful 54-mile trek from Selma to Montgomery, with federal protection, culminating in a rally at the Alabama State Capitol on March 25, 1965.
The Selma to Montgomery march was organized by civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), along with local activists from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). The march, which took place in March 1965, aimed to protest voting rights discrimination faced by African Americans in the South. It was a pivotal event in the civil rights movement, ultimately leading to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
