Selma to Montgomery March Byway
National Voting Rights Museum and Institute, AL

The National Voting Rights Museum commemorates the struggle by African Americans, and white sympathizers, to gain voting rights, a struggle that lasted from the beginnings of the nation through the extension of the Voting Rights Act in 1982 by President Reagan.

"Most of the pivotal events pertaining to modern-day Voting Rights issues happened in Selma," said Joanne Bland, Director and co-founder of the NVRMI, which opened in 1992.

The museum features various theme rooms that powerfully highlight different aspects of the movement for equality. It's a struggle that shouldn't be forgotten.
