Selma's Tabernacle Baptist Church Gets Federal Preservation Grant - Alabama News alnews selma alabamanewsnetwork
Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma is receiving the funding through a National Park Service grant program to preserve sites related to the struggle for equal rights in America. The church was the site of a May 14, 1963 mass meeting to galvanize support for the voting rights movement in the city.
The activism in Selma — including the 1965 Bloody Sunday march where peaceful demonstrators were beaten by white law enforcement officers — led to passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act to eliminate legal barriers at the state and local level that prevented African Americans from exercising their right.
