The term 'Freedom March City' refers to the city of Selma, Alabama. Selma was the site of the 1965 civil rights march known as the Selma to Montgomery marches, which were organized by civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis in order to protest the disenfranchisement of African Americans in the state of Alabama. The marches were met with violence from local law enforcement, but ultimately led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
