The largest city in Alabama, Birmingham is historically significant as the center point for the 1960's Civil Rights Movement that led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and desegregation of the public systems within the city. The Kelly Ingram Park commemorates the struggles of African-American activists and houses a statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. The city is rich in culture, hosting the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, the Southern Heritage Festival, the Vulcan Statue, and the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival.
