The Civil right march from Selma to Montgomery was organized to help the bullied African American get the chance to exercise their right to vote. The march was federally sanctioned with the support of President Johnson. This situation in Alabama led to the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The purpose of the March on Selma was to gain voting rights for African Americans. It was part of the larger Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's.
The march was tried to be stopped every time that they were marching.
The goal of the Selma March was to allow African Americans the right to vote. There were 3 different marches with the first one taking place on March 7, 1965.

There were three major Selma to Montgomery marches: The first march was March 7, 1965; involving 600 portestors which ended in the "Bloody Sunday" incident in which the marchers were attacked by police. The second march was on March 9, 1965 with about 2,500 protestors. However they did not go all the way to Montgomery as there was a court order against it in effect at that time. On March 21, 1965, after the court order had been recinded, 8,000 protesters marched to Mongomery under protection of Amry and National Guard troops
