    This musical drama is based on the award-winning memoir by Lynda Blackmon Lowery which tells her inspiring, true story as the youngest person to walk from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in the Voting Rights March of 1965. In King's address to SCLC, he noted that "Montgomery led to the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and 1960; Birmingham inspired the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Selma produced the voting rights legislation of 1965." Afterward, meet author Lynda Blackmon Lowery. Filmed in front of a live audience.
