It was a momentous day when Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King welcomed their first child into the world. The couple had waited a long time for this moment, and they were both overjoyed to become parents.
However, as soon as the baby was born, they realized that they would have to face some difficult challenges. The world was a very different place in the 1950s, and there was a lot of hostility towards African Americans. MLK and Coretta knew that they would have to be brave and stand up for their child, no matter what the cost.

The city of Selma, Alabama holds a significant place in the history of the Civil Rights Movement. It was here that Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) began one of the most influential and important campaigns for equality and justice in our nation's history.
In 1965, Dr. King led a march from Selma to Montgomery that covered 65 miles non-stop. This march, and the events leading up to it, helped to bring about the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which ensured that African Americans had the right to vote. However, despite this progress, Selma and the surrounding area have recently been hit by a devastating tornado.
Now, we have the opportunity to give back to the community that played such a crucial role in shaping our nation's history. The Tornado Relief Fund in Selma is working tirelessly to rebuild homes and businesses, and to support those affected by the disaster. By donating to this fund, we can help to ensure that Selma and its residents can recover and thrive in the aftermath of this tragedy.
It is our duty to support Selma, the city that played a significant role in the Civil Rights Movement, and the city where Martin Luther King Jr. and the SCLC began their journey for equality and justice. Let us come together and show our support for Selma by donating to the Tornado Relief Fund. Together, we can help to rebuild and restore this important community.
