The City of St. Jude is a 36-acre campus in Montgomery, Alabama, hosting a high school, hospital, and Catholic church, and was founded in 1934 by Fr Harold Purcell with the aim of bringing "light, hope and dignity to the poor," regardless of race.The campus hosted the Stars for Freedom rally on the night of March 24, 1965, where celebrities volunteered to entertain weary marchers on the final night of the Selma to Montgomery marches.

The campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, and is part of the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, created in 1996.
