Answer

Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965

Explanation

This question is asking for a historical event event that marchers were responding to. The context given is "actions against civil rights workers." In the history of the United States civil rights movement, marchers often referred to are those who participated in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, and other significant events. These marches were often in response to actions taken against civil rights workers, such as arrests, beatings, and other forms of violence and discrimination. One of the most famous instances of this would be the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965, where marchers were responding to the murder of civil rights workers and the ongoing suppression of Black voters in the South.
