As some fight to erase history, we resolve to tell it. On this day in 1965, 600+ civil rights activists met at the Brown Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Selma, AL to plan a march to the state capitol in Montgomery.

Today, the Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church is a National Historic Landmark, and was recently awarded a grant from African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. #TellTheFullStory	⁠
