One African American minister is about to take an extraordinary step through life with moving to a small town in the Jim Crow territory of Selma, Alabama, in 1954. He was an ordained minister of music and assigned to a church in Selma, Alabama, not knowing that with the freedom he had in Washington, DC, he would be facing a hard road of racism, participating in the civil rights movement. He could not possibly have foreseen that protesting in support of basic human dignity would culminate into one of the most heartrending civil wars of American history. He would later bring into all of these fights a wife and six children to face these horrible times and place them at risks with him. Joining in were other men and women who were determined to start a movement of their own that would forever change the town of Selma, Alabama.
