MLK Interpretive Center

501 N. Brady St., Davenport, Iowa

Join us, on an educational journey, as we discuss the events leading up to, and the day of the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Led by John Lewis and Hosea Williams, nearly 600 civil rights protesters proceeded in a peaceful march that ended in a brutal attack as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

The demonstrators marched in response to the murder of Jimmie  Lee Jackson and justice denied, in addition to the denial of their  right to vote. The results of that day for the voting rights movement and where we are today will be discussed. The positive results from that day, and the woeful inaction in more recent years will be  examined.

Please RSVP and join us.
