Birmingham Civil Rights Heritage Trail Historical Markers

Over 100 markers throughout downtown, are at significant locations along the 1963 Civil Rights march routes. Designed as a self-guided tour, the trail speaks to the valor of both common people and to the spiritual leaders who spearheaded the fight against segregation and other forms of racism.
