what was the main purpose of this 1965 march from selma to montgomery?

b. to demand justice for kings imprisonment for participating in a protest in birmingham
c. to register african american voters and draw attention to voter suppression in the south
d. to force the montgomery public transportation system to end racial segregation

Explanation:

The 1965 Selma - Montgomery march was a key event in the civil rights movement. Option A is incorrect as it relates to defense industry segregation during the Cold War, not this march. Option B is wrong because the march was not about King's Birmingham imprisonment. Option D is about Montgomery bus segregation, which was the 1955 - 1956 Montgomery Bus Boycott, not this march. The main purpose of the Selma - Montgomery march was to address African American voter registration and highlight voter suppression in the South, which matches option C.

Answer:

C. to register African American voters and draw attention to voter suppression in the South
