Selma to Montgomery March Byway
City of St. Jude Historic District, AL

Founded during the mid-1930s when segregation was the norm in the Southeast, the City of St. Jude Hospital pioneered nondiscriminatory health, education, and social services.

On March 24, 1965, voting rights marchers camped in the St. Jude Historic District, on the athletic field. It would be their last night on their path to the capital. That night the athletic field became a stage for a marchers' rally and a show by famous musicians and entertainers. It was the site of the March Great Concert.
