The Anti-Defamation League has staunchly defended the civil rights of all Americans since its founding in 1913. In 1965, ADL joined Dr. Martin Luther King and other Civil Rights Movement leaders in the historic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Over the next 50 years, ADL has worked to make Dr. King’s dream a reality, and we will continue to fight for equality and freedom for all until that dream is realized. Here is a peek at ADL and Selma – past, present and future.
