In a recent episode of "Win Ben Stein's Money", one of the questions was "What was the name of the march which took place in Selma, Alabama in 1965?" I don't suppose it was simply called "Selma to Montgomery marches"; so what was it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.105.128.220 (talk • contribs).
I think the answer should have been the Civil Rights march from Selma to Montgomery —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.226.101.172 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Possible factual error
I believe that the "hangout for whites" talked about in the section "The second march" is actually a black bar. I read this in the history book "A History of US" by Joy Hakim. --Pianohacker (Talk) 20:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] murder of woman who provided transport for marchers
I recall a white woman who gave rides to marchers was later murdered when seen driving a black teenager home, but can't recall her name. Was she connected with this march? What's her name? Tuoreco 17:02, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Her name was Viola Liuzzo, and yes, she was indeed connected with this march. We learned about her in my university class on the Civil Rights Movement. You can read more about her at her Wikipedia article, which as you can see I have provided a link to. Gujuguy 20:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
