Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument, National Park Service civil rights memorial in downtown Birmingham, United States.
The Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument encompasses four city blocks, featuring the A.G. Gaston Motel, Kelly Ingram Park, and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
During April and May 1963, civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., coordinated nonviolent protests against segregation from the A.G. Gaston Motel headquarters.
The monument includes the 4th Avenue Historic District, which served as the primary retail and entertainment center for African American businesses during the segregation period.
The National Park Service provides guided tours and educational programs about civil rights history, though the A.G. Gaston Motel remains closed for restoration.
Kelly Ingram Park contains sculptures depicting police dogs and water hoses used against protesters, documenting the events that sparked national media attention in 1963.
