Birmingham Civil Rights Institute
The Birmingham Civil Right Institute was a great sight to see. I love the way we had tours to gide us around, and explain to us what we were looking at. The guide aids quality instructions on the civil right museum and african-american life and history. I got to see how black workers struggled for equality in Birmingham. In addition the 16th street Baptist Church was the oldest church founded in 1873. Not only did the people have church service, they also held community meetings. The part that was rememberd the most, was when the 4 young ladys were killed in the bombing in 1963. The spot that they got killed, they turned into a kitchen. I guess so people wont have to think about what happend during that time.
