The colonial wars are over, but the monument is still protecting—not just the historic fort, but also the wild barrier island and the plants and animals who survive there amidst a sea of modern development.

The Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail commemorates the 1965 Voting Rights March in Alabama. On March 7, 1965, subsequently known as "Bloody Sunday," non-violent protesters for African American voting rights crossed the Edmond Pettus Bridge–only to be gassed, beaten, and halted by law enforcement officers. In response, nation-wide protesters flocked to the site for a five-day march, beginning March 21, 1965. This march received state and federal law enforcement protection. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was among those who spoke at the rally which followed completion of the march. The Voting Rights Act was passed May 26, 1965.
