Капітолій штату Алабама

Протягом 150 років Капітолій штату Алабама відкриває вид на центр Монтгомері зі свого пагорба. Ця національна історична пам’ятка є діючим музеєм історії та політики держави. Конфедерація почалася в залі сенату, коли делегати з південних штатів проголосували за створення нової нації в лютому 1861 року. Трохи більше ніж через століття, навесні 1965 року, Марш від Сельми до Монтгомері за право голосу завершився на сходах Капітолію. Доктор Мартін Лютер Кінг молодший виголосив одну зі своїх найкращих промов перед 25 000 людей. Капітолій штату Алабама тепер визнано офіційним пунктом призначення на Шляху громадянських прав США разом із понад 100 місцями в 14 штатах.

Музей Старого Депо

Музей Старого Депо, офіційно зареєстрований як Історико-архівний музей округу Сельма/Даллас, розташований у кварталі вниз від Уотер-авеню від готелю Сент-Джеймс на території колишнього конфедеративного Ливарного району. Це інтерпретаційний музей, у якому зберігаються пам’ятні речі про чоловіків і жінок, які допомогли зробити Сельму «містом-королевою Чорного поясу». У цьому районі з 1860 до 1865 року розташовувався Greater Confederate National Ordinance Works, ливарний цех часів Громадянської війни, де виготовляли Brooke Cannon. Рейдерам Вілсона знадобилося кілька днів, щоб повністю знищити виробничу фортецю. Будівля з червоної цегли, оздоблена каменем у стилі романського Відродження була побудована бл. 1890. Будівля є внеском власності Сельми в «Історичний район Уотер-авеню», який внесено до Національного реєстру історичних місць і задокументовано на вибраних фотографіях в Огляді історичних будівель Америки.

Музей атракціонів свободи

У 1961 році групи волонтерів увійшли в історію, кинувши виклик практиці роздільних подорожей півднем. Вони називали себе Freedom Riders, коли долали расові бар’єри в депо та в автобусах. 1961 Freedom Riders не починали і не закінчували свою подорож у Монтгомері, штат Алабама, але їх прибуття змінило місто та нашу країну. Музей Freedom Rides відкрився в 2011 році на історичній автобусній станції Greyhound, куди Freedom Riders прибули в Монтгомері 20 травня 1961 року. Freedom Rides досягли мети покласти край расовій сегрегації в міжштатному громадському транспорті.

Меморіальний центр громадянських прав

Місія Меморіального центру громадянських прав полягає в тому, щоб служити інструментом для освіти, роздумів і дій на захист громадянських прав і прав людини. Центр є домом для Меморіалу громадянських прав, спроектованого Майєю Лін у 1989 році. На меморіалі вписані імена людей, які загинули в боротьбі за свободу під час сучасного руху за громадянські права – з 1954 по 1968 рік. Серед мучеників є активісти які були націлені на смерть через свою діяльність у сфері громадянських прав; випадкові жертви дружинників, які вирішили зупинити рух; і особи, які, жертвуючи власним життям, принесли нове усвідомлення боротьби. Окрім експозицій про мучеників Руху за громадянські права, у Меморіальному центрі є театр на 75 місць, інтерактивна експозиція сучасного активіста та клас для просвітницької діяльності.

Міст Едмунда Петтуса

Телевізійні атаки бачили в усьому світі, що викликало громадську підтримку активістів громадянських прав у Сельмі та американської кампанії за права голосу. Після Кривавої неділі протестувальники спробували ще раз, перш ніж останній і третій марш завершився успішним Маршем за права голосу від Сельми до Монтгомері.
