Just did the Birmingham Civil Rights Tour - What an experience!

I just got back from the Birmingham Civil Rights Tour and wow, it was so eye-opening! The guide was super knowledgeable, and it started at the Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth statue, which set the perfect tone. Visiting places like the 16th Street Baptist Church made everything feel so real. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in history! Plus, it’s free, which is a big win!
