OUDC 30 | Birmingham, Alabama- 16th Street Baptist Church / Kelly Ingram Park

OUDC Class 30's fellows visited the 16th Street Baptist Church  and Kelly Ingram Park, part of the historic Civil Rights Trail in Birmingham,  Alabama. The church is where four young girls - Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Denise McNair and Carole Robertsonwere murdered by a bomb set by a racist KKK member.  Nearby Kelly Ingram Park commemorates the struggles for equality and freedom in Birmingham during the Jim Crow era.

Thanks to all the OUDC fellows and staff for their good work and for the opportunity to be of service to their mission.
