What was the goal of the Selma March?

Answer
A
force police officers to resign
B
insist that Governor Wallace secure voting rights
C
ask the Supreme Court for protection
D
ask Governor Wallace to end poll taxes

Explanation

The Selma March was part of the civil rights movement’s campaign to secure African Americans’ right to vote. Marchers sought federal protection and action to overcome barriers to voting, and they called on Alabama Governor George Wallace to ensure those rights. The best answer is “insist that Governor Wallace secure voting rights”; the march was not specifically aimed at making police resign or ending poll taxes alone.
