That night, a group of segregationists beat a young white minister to death for protesting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon after, President Lyndon B. Johnson pledged support for the marchers and ordered U.S. Army troops and Alabama National Guard forces to protect them. This allowed about 2,000 protestors to leave Selma on March 21 and reach Montgomery on the March 25, where civil rights leaders addressed the crowd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After bloody beginnings and tragedy, the march was a success, leading to the adoption of <a href=\"https:\/\/education.nationalgeographic.org\/resource\/selma-montgomery-marches-and-1965-voting-rights-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Voting Rights Act of 1965.<\/a> This legislation outlawed practices designed to prevent eligible Black people from voting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By October of that year, 110,000 Black people had registered to vote in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana. Today, the Selma to Montgomery March Byway preserves that history and acknowledges the tragedy and triumph in our past.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here at Scenic America, we value these historic places and want them to see them persist.
