Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument

Hundreds of people visit Kelly Ingram Park each year to learn about the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham
In 1963, images of snarling police dogs unleashed against non-violent protesters and of children being sprayed with high-pressure hoses appeared in print and television news around the world. These dramatic scenes of violent police aggression against civil rights protesters in Birmingham, Alabama were vivid examples of segregation and racial injustice in America.
