The Jackson Home, originally located in Selma, Alabama, provided refuge and solace for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and others who worked, collaborated, strategized, and planned the Selma-to-Montgomery marches of 1965. The marches led to the signing of the Voting Rights Act on August 6, 1965, enshrining voting equality for all Americans as law.
