Each month NAAM hosts a free admission day to spotlight moments throughout history that have worked to advance freedom for all.
On March 7, Enjoy FREE admission all day as we reflect on Bloody Sunday. On March 7, 1965, 600 civil rights marchers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama and faced brutal attacks by oncoming state troopers, leading to the hospitalization of several marchers.
On March 21, Enjoy FREE admission all day as we remember the courage of demonstrators third and final march to Selma. On March 21, 1965, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led the third/final march, 54-miles long from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Protected by hundreds of federalized Alabama National Guardsmen and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, the demonstrators covered between 7 to 17 miles per day.
Freedom Day is a FREE admission day at NAAM typically offered once a month that provides a variety of community activities, museum activations, and programs for individuals and families of all ages to enjoy at no cost.
