Preserving a sacred landmark of American voting rights history.
Documented in 1965 National Press
In March 1965, national newspapers documented the Selma to Montgomery march and its first campsite on the land of David Hall. Campsite One is not a reconstructed memory — it is a documented, historic place recognized as part of the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail.
