4 Hour Civil Rights Birmingham Tour

10:00 a. m. We will visit the 16th Street Baptist Church and hear the tragic story of the killing of four precious little girls. The tour program is occasionally done by members and relatives of the church who were involved in the movement. During this era. it is their story and I respect them in presenting their story. The tour can be self-guided in the Institute, but it is helpful to have your guide accompany you to discuss the era's occurrences further. This incredibly well-exhibited Birmingham Civil Rights Institute features artifacts and exhibits displaying actual moments from the Movement. A visit to Historic Bethel Baptist Church is presented by the current Pastor of the church as well as the Tour Director who will present the amazing brave work and sacrifices of Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth We will then take a short walk across to the infamous Kelly Ingram Park, where Bull Connor ordered water hoses to be turned on student protestors.
