The purpose of the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965 was to demand that Jim Crow laws that suppressed Black voter registration be changed. This march was a crucial part of the Civil Rights Movement and aimed to highlight the systematic disenfranchisement of Black voters in the South and ultimately led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
