Selma and the South – Alabama

Sixty years on from the famous march for equal voting rights in Selma, Reece Parkinson travels through America's Deep South to discover how the civil rights movement is remembered there and what impact it has had on the lives of African Americans today.

In the first of two programmes Reece is in Alabama, where he meets a woman who took part in the march back in 1965, plus a family who are creating a safe space for tourists exploring the countryside. Finally, he heads to Mobile where he joins a once segregated annual parade that now welcomes everyone.
