Answer 2

Answer:

The values that were upheld during the three marches from Selma to Montgomery, during the year of 1965, and which became a mark in history that allowed the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1965, were the values of peaceful protest and non-violent activism. This means, these protesters showed America that their intent in achieving voting rights, and a change of segregation laws in the country, was not to generate more violence, but to show that they were above being what white Americans accused African Americans of being; nothing more than savages. It also gave a boost to the Voting Rights movement that initiated in Selma, Alabama and it proved that the Civil Rights movement was peaceful and non-violent.
