The Selma to Montgomery marches were protest marches organized in 1965. These marches involved thousands of people walking from Selma, Alabama to the capital of Montgomery.

The main purpose of the marches was to protest and bring attention to the problem of segregation and repression of African Americans. By marching, African Americans wanted to show their desire to exercise their rights, including the right to vote.

The marches were significant to the civil rights movement because they allowed people to raise awareness of the problems of segregation. They also led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

How did religious beliefs influence the organization of Sumerian society?
muminat
Sumerian belief that humans are created to serve and obey the gods. They developed a hierarchy of importance based on the persons' close relationship with god. 
From most important to least important, the list of groups are Kings, Priests and Priestesses, Commoners, and Slaves. 

They believe that kings of every city have divine authority, therefore, those who are not kings are tasked to serve and obey the kings. 

The second most important group of people in the society are priests and priestesses. The Sumerians believe that gods speak through the priests and priestesses; thus, political powers were granted to them. The priests and priestesses also enjoy living in lavish homes as part of being of noble class.

Commoners labored for the estates, which were attached to the temples.

Slaves worked for Temple officials.
