Enduring History of Alabama Civil Rights Movement


Known for bustling city centers and country roads in spades, Alabama is a massive conglomeration of just about everything. You can find some of the most relaxing beachside spots in the same state as the party capital, and maybe even some rich history a town or two over.

Alabama considered the central historic site of the American Civil Rights Movement. This state includes many famous landmarks, which is a great way to make history come alive, and not just for history buffs, but the whole family. Here are the top battlefields and other war sites which describe the significant facts behind the Alabama Civil Rights.

1) Montgomery Bus Boycott: This struggle made famous by Rosa Parks who refused to give her seat to the white man on the bus. It is one of the defining movements of the Alabama civil rights movement. The main highlight of the campaign is to remove racial discrimination in the state.

2) Gettysburg National Military Park: It is National Military Park that protects and interprets the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. It seems like a museum with numerous collections of Civil War artifacts in the world.

3) Sixteenth Street Baptist Church: This church located in the Birmingham city of Alabama and considered as the first house of worship for African Americans in that city. The Baptist church gained national attention during the civil rights movement for hosting meetings and was the target of a racially motivated bombing that killed four African American girls in 1963.
