Birmingham Civil Rights Tour

Your students could spend a lifetime in Alabama studying the Civil Rights Movement;

however, in this day trip to Birmingham, they are sure to experience enough of the historic
time period to deepen their understanding of both the Civil Rights Movement, as well as

the bigger fight for the fundamental rights of all human beings. This trip through
Birmingham will give your students an opportunity to bear witness to many of the most

important sites of the time period. The commercial and industrial center of Alabama was
the center of focus during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. Here, your students

will get to witness many of the iconic sites of the Civil Rights movement including a self-

guided tour of the 16th Street Baptist Church, and Kelly Ingram Park. Your students will
take a guided tour of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, and you can even add the
Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame or the Southern Museum of Flight to this unforgettable day!
