Goal of Martin Luther King Jr selma march?

The goal of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Selma march in 1965 was to advocate for voting rights for African Americans, particularly in the face of systemic discrimination and disenfranchisement in the South. The march from Selma to Montgomery aimed to raise national awareness of these injustices and to pressure the federal government to ensure voting equality. This event ultimately contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act later that year, a landmark legislation aimed at protecting the voting rights of all citizens.
