The 1965 Selma to Montgomery March was an important milestone in the civil rights movement because it vividly illustrated the continued resistance to black civil rights in the Deep South. This march brought national attention to the struggle for voting rights and highlighted the violent opposition faced by civil rights activists. The events that transpired during the march, including "Bloody Sunday," significantly influenced public opinion and contributed to the eventual passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
