TRIP TO BIRMINGHAM TO SEE CIVIL RIGHTS SITES

A small group -- Jim, Timo, Jinsung and Jinuk --  traveled to Birmingham on Saturday, May 3 to see some of the city's Civil Rights sites. We started out with a program at the 16th Street Baptist Church, site of a KKK bombing that killed 4 black girls in September, 1963, during the peak of the Civil Rights movement.  Next we toured the Civil Rights Institute, a museum focusing on the Civil Rights movement in Alabama, and we finished up the day with a visit to Vulcan Park atop Red Mountain with a panoramic view of the city.  We had lunch at Rojo's and we highly recommend it.
