"Selma: A Journey of Courage and Change" In the heart of Alabama, Selma stands as a symbol of resilience and progress. This historic city witnessed one of the most pivotal moments in American history - the march led by Martin Luther King Jr. From Selma to Montgomery on that fateful day, March 25th, 1965. As we look back at this iconic image, Dr. King's determination shines through as he walks alongside fellow activists towards equality. But Selma is more than just a backdrop for civil rights movements; it holds a rich tapestry of stories within its borders. From the Edmund Pettus Bridge, an enduring landmark that witnessed both pain and triumph during the American Civil Rights Movement, to the gas station that illuminates Selma's nights with its warm glow - each corner tells tales of struggle and hope. The Old Depot Museum serves as a testament to Selma's vibrant past, preserving memories etched into its walls. It reminds us that progress is not achieved overnight but requires dedication and perseverance. Beyond America's shores lies another connection to Selma - Marbacka in Varmland, Sweden. This estate once belonged to Selma Lagerlof, the first female writer awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her red house echoes her literary prowess and inspires generations with her words. As we delve deeper into history captured through Alfred Stieglitz's lens, Emmy and Selma grace Lake George in 1899 – their laughter echoing across time. And then there is Agnes, Hedwig, Julius – all immortalized on Oaklawn steps – reminding us of cherished family bonds. Finally, we encounter Don Quixote himself within these pages; his adventures intertwined with engravings depicting episodes from Cervantes' masterpiece – El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha. Selma encompasses so much more than meets the eye; it represents bravery, unity, and the pursuit of justice.
