Birmingham

The city's Civil Rights Institute on 16th Street North, near a park that became a battlefield for the '60s when Birmingham was known as Bombingham, takes visitors back to a time when Alabama was separate and unequal. You can see the cell where a jailed King in April 1963 wrote the widely disseminated "Letter From the Birmingham City Jail." Call (866) 328-9696.

At the corner of 16th Street and Sixth Avenue is the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, where a bomb (the 47th set off during the civil rights era) killed four young girls while they were changing into their choir robes on Sept. 15, 1963. King delivered their eulogies. Years later former Klansmen Robert Chambliss, Bobby Frank Cherry and Thomas Blount Jr. got life sentences for the most heinous crime of the civil rights era. Call (205) 251-9402.
