Visitors joined us for an inspiring look back 40 years, to the spring of 1965 when civil rights activists put their lives on the line to focus national attention on the need for voting rights. Through dramatic portrayals and music, we told the story of the three marches in Selma, Alabama that helped to promote the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Participants sung with us as we celebrated their courage and commitment and shared their thoughts about the meaning of this accomplishment. Performances times:
