- This audio recording features a Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) mass rally in Selma, Alabama. SCLC President Joseph E. Lowery is the key speaker at the event, addressing the crowd about the importance of extending the Voting Rights Act and referencing the progress of the ongoing Carrollton to Montgomery March. Lowery remarks that it is time to move to another mountain and work to get more Black leaders in civic and government positions as well as advance the economic, social, and health conditions for Black Americans. The recording concludes with more songs and final comments from an unidentified speaker on the importance of fighting for voting rights.
