Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument is a new unit of the National Park System with a boundary that encompasses roughly four city blocks in downtown Birmingham, Alabama.The national monument includes the A.G. Gaston Motel, which served as the headquarters for the Birmingham campaign.
In April through May of 1963 leaders of the civil rights movement, including Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., took up residence at the motel where they strategized and made critical decision about the non-violent campaign that targeted Birmingham’s segregation laws and practices. In addition to the day in, day out work of the campaign that occurred at the motel, several key events of the campaign publicly unfolded at the property.
