In October of 1980, 12 years after his death, the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Historic Site was established in Atlanta, Georgia, as a unit of the National Park Service to honor the life of Dr. King and his leadership in the American Civil Rights Movement. In 1996, Congress also established the Selma-to-Montgomery National Historic Trail under the National Trails System Act. This historic Alabama trail included 54 miles of city streets and US Highway 80 from Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church in Selma to the State Capitol Building in Montgomery, traveled by voting rights advocates during March 1965 to dramatize the need for voting rights legislation. The trail was later designated an "All-American Road," the highest tribute a road can receive under the Federal Highway Administration's National Scenic Byways Program.
