The $5 million NPS Interpretive Center for Montgomery, located on ASU’s campus, reveals the Montgomery phase of the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights crusade. After Bloody Sunday in Selma on March 7, 1965 the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee relocated to Montgomery and oversaw marches on the part of ASU students of other universities to the State Capitol in protest of voting rights injustices. It is the third and final center on the National Historic Trail, established by Congress in 1996, which additionally includes the Selma and Lowndes County Interpretive Centers. The Montgomery Interpretive Center is located in front of The ASU Stadium, a short walk from the one-time home of civil rights leader Ralph David Abernahty and the Nat King Cole home.
