When King and his group are shown going to Selma, that is not the Dallas County Courthouse on the screen.
Most of the filming was in Georgia.

The Selma bridge scenes were in Ala. and some scenes in Montgomery.

The courthouse in the early part of the movie is quite similar to another movie courthouse, the one in To Kill a Mockingbird.
