In 1965 three Black farming families risked their lives by providing refuge to the thousands of voting rights marchers on the historic five-day, 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery.
Nearly 60 years later, The Halls, Steeles, and Gardners share what their parents and grandparents sacrificed for the first time and how their families’ legacies and this historic land can be preserved for generations to come. Their stories help unveil the rural and agricultural roots of the civil rights movement while asking the seemingly timeless American question: how do you fight for what you know is right when the majority is against you?
