Birmingham, 1963
The Birmingham Children's March took place in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963. Children were chosen to march downtown because they needed more people after many adults were scared after MLK's arrest. The children were attacked with high-pressure fire hoses, police dogs, and nightsticks. Over 1000 children were arrested. This was important because it showed America and JFK that Bull Connor and the Birmingham police were not afraid to be violent against kids. This led to JFK sending 3000 troops to restore peace and order. Many Americans also spoke out about this.

Once the law passed the news was spread but change didnt happen fast

Selma Marches, 1965
There were 3 Selma marches. The first Selma marchers were met with violence from heavily armed state troopers who used tear-gas clubs and horses to dispel the participants. This day becomes known as Bloody Sunday. On the second march, MLK and the marchers reached the bridge but couldn't continue because of a state court order. Finally, on March 21, 1965, MLK led 3,200 marchers protected by 2,000 U.S. Army soldiers, and 1,900 members of the Alabama National Guard. The five-day, 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery was important because it led to the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which led to 250,000 new Black voters registered to vote by the end of 1965.
