What did the freedom walkers do?

The Freedom Walkers were participants in the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, which were pivotal in the American Civil Rights Movement. They walked approximately 54 miles to demand voting rights for African Americans, facing violence and hostility along the way. Their efforts helped raise national awareness of racial discrimination and contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The marches symbolized the struggle for civil rights and the importance of grassroots activism.
