Dr. Sullivan & Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson Home
The home of Dr. Sullivan and Richie Jean Jackson, originally located in Selma, Alabama, is a Civil Rights Movement landmark. The home served as a refuge where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders worked, collaborated, strategized, and planned the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery marches. These marches led to the signing of the Voting Rights Act on August 6, 1965.
