About Birmingham

Birmingham was founded in 1871, and it is the largest city in Alabama. Birmingham was named for a city of the same name located in England. Birmingham's most important industries are iron production, steel production, and railroad freight. It also has a large banking industry.

During the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and the 1960s, Birmingham served as a hotbed of protests and police resistance. Now famous activists, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Fred Shuttlesworth, organized marches and rallies that protested Jim Crow laws and demanded civil rights for black Americans. Birmingham is also well known for the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in which four black girls were killed by a bomb planted in a church.

Birmingham has several tourist attractions. One of the most famous Birmingham attractions is the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
