Selma, Alabama to Montgomery, Alabama
This was three protest marches, from Selma to Montgomery. They were non-violent marches which demonstrated the desire of black Americans to use their right to vote. The march led to the passing of the Voting Rights Act which was a landmark achievement of the civil rights movement.
God Will Take Care of You was sung with the marchers and Hosea Williams who led the march.

Aretha Franklin (1972)
Be not dismayed whate'er betide
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you
God will take care of you
Through every day, o'er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you
No matter what may be the test
God will take care of you
Lean, weary one, upon His breast
God will take care of you
God will take care of you
Through every day, o'er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you
He will take care of you
God will take care of you
God Will Take Care of You was originally a hymn written by husband and wife Walter Stillman Martin and Civilla Durfee Martin which was published in a song book written for a school.
