Use signposted QR codes and signposted geolocation tags throughout the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument sites to immerse yourself in the Civil Rights Movement as it happened.

Be in the room where it happened. See the rooms where Civil Rights leaders strategised the movement at the A.G. Gaston Motel, and witness their speeches at 16th Street Baptist Church that rallied a people and moved a nation.

Learn about the effects of segregation in the south, and about the price that activists paid at 16th Street Baptist Church, the A.G. Gaston Motel, Kelly Ingram Park and across the state to bring about monumental change.

Learn about the importance of preserving Alabama’s African-American heritage, and how you can help.

This experience helps preserve history in Alabama from degradation due to weather and other unforeseen events. It brings access to education for the young and old, and encourages engagement with fellow citizens to continue shaping a better tomorrow. See it for yourself, then spread the word.
