We really don't have much time to plan this... The original Selma - Montgomery Marches were held in March of 1965.
Link to a summary about the Selma-Montgomery March:

I would suggest that, where ever we ultimately hold this march, that we target March 25th. That is the anniversary of the third March where 25,000 marchers participated in the approximately 40 mile march. I think the question should be where to stage the March. I believe also that it should be our stated goal to have at least as many Marches participating this time.

In terms of starting to get the word out to activists, our first best opportunity will be this coming Monday. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. There will be memorial services in virtually every community across the country. (I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska in the 80's and WE had services there!) I understand that's 4 day's from now, but there's still the counter inaugural this month and the entire month of February to advertise & organize. Given the fact that that February is also Black History Month, we can get the word out about the march and lacy our message with the historical component.

There's so much to be done, but I really want to do this...
