The 1965 Selma to Montgomery march was the climactic event of the Selma voting rights demonstrations. It provided some of the most recognized imagery of the civil rights movement and sparked several infamous crimes.

In March 2020, the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University unveiled a dynamic, free learning platform entitled SELMA Online. This engaging site uses footage and images from the feature film SELMA and interactive graphics to teach civil rights lessons centered on voting rights.
