About

In 1963, Birmingham, Alabama was on the frontline of the American Civil Rights Movement. This first episode explores these events as our student reporters begin a journey to discover how the civil rights movement is still relevant today. On the way they visit the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, Bethel Baptist Church and more, to speak with experts. Then Congresswoman Terri Sewell and Ahmad Ward, Director of Education for the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, answer viewer questions.
