Where would I go to find out the history of Birmingham, Alabama?

Despite Birmingham’s history in Civil Rights in America, there are little monuments and memorials dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr, though you will find the usual streets and buildings dedicated to the historic Civil Rights leader. However, if you are looking to learn about the history of Birmingham and its role in the Civil Rights Movement, you can go to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. The centre acts as a place of education for individuals seeking knowledge on civil rights and facts on historical movements that have taken place.It centers around US history, but the Institute also commits itself to Civil Rights movements taking place all around the US.

There are various different events to the Institute, and you can look them up on the website before you go. The centre is open Tuesdays-Sundays, though Daily Tours are only available from Tuesdays to Saturdays. Online tickets are available for sale up to 3 days before your scheduled visit and cost $12.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
