Civil Rights Historic District

Birmingham

This sculpture in Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham, Alabama depicts a vicious dog attack during the civil rights protests in 1963. This sculpture is very effective. I got chills walking through and imagining what it just have been like. #civilrights #historymatters
I feel like I had heard of this church, but didnt really understand the significance of what happened there until I visited. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute right next door is a really well done history of racism and civil rights in the US. I'd definitely recommend if you are in Birmingham for a while.
Several powerful sculptures were commissioned for the park to illustrate the Civil Rights Movement events that happened here. Police and Dog Attack - a sculpture at ground level that is made up of two opposing metal walls with three vicious dogs that lunge at you as you pass between them the way the dogs did at the 1963 demonstration. It's effect is profound and moving. View 3 of 4 #birmingham #MLK # CivilRights
