The Civil Rights Acts of 1964 was a piece of legislation that outlawed discrimination on race, color, sex, religion, or national origin in public accommodations. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was very instrumental in the passing of this legislation. As a result of his famous march on Washington, President Lyndon B. Johnson, was compelled to grant equal protection for all American citizens. However, majority of people do not know that the struggle for desegregation continued after the passage of the Civil Rights Movement. When people think of Martin Luther King Jr., they tend to think about his march on Washington and not about his march from Selma to Montgomery. This march was a product of a build of frustration for the lack of enforcement of the Civil Rights Act. .
The movie, "Selma," was an accurate portrayal of events that occurred in 1965. It followed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he fought against the government in their pursuit to deny the "American Negro" of their American rights. Who would have known that after the Civil Rights Act was passed, discrimination and unreasonable abuse was still being continued in the south? Blacks were still being denied their right to vote, still being discriminated from public places, and still being abused by white officers for no reason, and them not being tried for their actions. .
Dr. King was sent to Selma, in hopes of getting the government to enforce the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. Although the act was passed, it was still not being enforced in the south. Officers would beat and terrorize blacks for any reason possible, only because they were white cops and it would be their word against blacks. As King and his fellows went to Selma, they kneeled down on their knees, with their hands behind their heads in front of the courthouse, asking for their rights to enforce. Their rights were denied and they were beat and thrown in jail. Dr. King's next move was to march to Montgomery to the State Capital in effort to register blacks to vote.
