The 54-mile Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, run by the National Park Service, commemorates the people and events that led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Along the way, you’ll find the George Washington Carver neighborhood, an early housing project constructed for African Americans, and the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where protestors clashed with law enforcement on a day that is now known as Bloody Sunday.
Stay at the St. James Hotel Selma, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, which is just steps away from the Alabama River and Edmund Pettus Bridge. The hotel is considered a historic site and was once the headquarters for Union Army Major General James H. Wilson.
