The route is memorialized as the Selma To Montgomery Voting Rights Trail

The Selma to Montgomery marches were a series three marches that marked the  
peak of the American civil rights movement. They grew out of the voting rights
movement in Selma, Alabama. The third march of 25,000 people concluded at
the steps of the State Capitol Building where Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered
his “How Long, Not Long” speech (below).   

The sitcom The Monkees, which first aired on NBC in September of 1966, won two 
Emmy Awards in 1967: Outstanding comedy Series and Outstanding Directorial 
Achievement in Comedy (James Frawley).

Most of the episodes from the second season of the show didn’t use a laugh track,
which was the common practice at the time. The non-use of canned laughter was
used by NBC as one of several reasons for cancelling the series.
