Birmingham Civil Rights

National Monument - Alabama, United States

Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument preserves key sites from the 1963 civil rights demonstrations that helped galvanize the American civil rights movement. Managed by the National Park Service, the monument includes the 16th Street Baptist Church, Kelly Ingram Park, and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. These locations witnessed pivotal events including the Children's Crusade and tragic church bombing that killed four young girls. The monument serves as a powerful reminder of the struggle for racial equality and the courage of those who fought for civil rights.
