People of today... We would've never survived what these people...these strong fighters endured. We need to wake up and realize the freedom that we have.

I grew up reading about the civil rights protests, and seeing the photos of the water cannons along the march route. It is another experience to actually walk along the short route from the church, past the Bus Station, to City Hall. For free, one can walk the route, and every 100 ft or so, there are placards that explain the segregation issues of that era. Also, the Civil Rights Museum is worth the price of admission.

Civil Rights Building, The 16th Street Church and Kelly Ingram Park where Martin Luther King Spoke. I am so glad I visited all of them on my quest to learn about US Civil Rights History..most occurred before I was born..

As you walk around this district you are reminded of all the events that shaped where we are today. It is hard to believe that it was just 50 years ago that these things could have happened. If you are old enough to remember the image of the dog attacking the young boy, then the statue memorializing this moment will be profound.

Birmingham's Civil Rights District, including the Civil Rights Institute, 16th Street Baptist Church (site of the tragic bombing in 1963), and Kelly Ingram Park (where demonstrations were met with police violence) is a wonderful teaching tool for recounting the historic civil rights era. The Institute (small fee charged) has a film and an extensive exhibition hall with dramatic displays that literally walk you through the watershed events of the 1960's. The church, with its beautiful stained-glass window given by the people of Wales, is an important landmark. And the park, graced with several very powerful sculptures and the climax of a four-block "freedom trail", is a fitting prelude or postlude to your tour. This collection of important places is very accessible, inexpensive, and well worth your time!

My family and I toured the district. We first went to 16 th street Baptism church! the to the National Civil Rights Institute then the park across the street! There is also a walking tour at the park across the street. This district is very educational, my family,and I learned a ton of things about this historical district.

I enjoyed my visit to the area and even experienced a bit of history. We took pictures in front the birth homes of Nat "King" Cole and Ralph Abernathy. There was also a Memorial to Rosa Parks across from the University Campus.

I am so glad that my wife and I took the time to visit the Civil Rights District. The self-guided tours are very informative and inspiring.

Took the walking tour of historical district with family. There were a couple excellent little shops. That I would have never expected to find. Beautiful churches with lost of history. It was a long walk and would have been much better if there was ssome sort of virtual tour guide to tell you about different places. We used our phones for info and it was difficult for our tour guide to read all the info while trying to enjoy the tour himself. It would have been great to know where public restrooms were available on the 3 mile tour because it was a half day experience not just a tthree mile walk.

I brought my 12 year old son along on a business trip, and we stopped in here to enjoy some history. I thought it especially important for him as a biracial child, but anyone who loves the feel of history up close will love the Institute. There are scenes set up to replicate "the way things were" last century, and some interactive displays. You can walk at your own pace, but if you pay attention to each display you will definitely find yourself in there for a few hours, so give yourself a time limit if you want to visit other places in an afternoon. Also, the people who work there are very friendly, with sweet Southern smiles.
