The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, at 520 16th St N in Birmingham Alabama, is across the street from Kelly Ingram park and 16th Street Baptist Church. The Institute is part of the Civil Rights National Monument and affiliated with the Smithsonian. It is a cultural educational and research center sharing the civil rights movement significance in Birmingham. Your visit will start with a short movie that explains the history of Birmingham and its Jim Crow segregation. The exhibits walk the visitor from the segregation days through the civil rights protests and Martin Luther King Jr. I recommend visiting this museum. It was very educational and moving. I give a special thank you to Athena Richardson and Wayne Coleman for all of their help and expertise. Here are some pictures of the Institute and surrounding area.
