The Selma, Alabama home was a sanctuary and strategic hub for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders during the voting rights movement in the 1960s.
Walker talks with The Henry Ford President & CEO Patricia Mooradian and the Curator of Black History Amber Mitchell about acquiring, transporting, and restoring the home. They share stories about the history of the home and its owners’ connection to Dr. King.
