This powerful sculpture by Alabama artist Ronald McDowell, is dedicated to the foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement. Kelly Ingram Park across the street from theBirmingham Civil Rights Institute.
i have a photo i took of that statue when you took me there.. its one of the strongest images i have ever taken... but this one with that young man is even stronger ..
I have lived in Birmingham most of my life. I think it's a beautiful, friendly, and interesting place to live. I hope that my daily photographs portray the diversity of my hometown in a positive and artistic way.

I'm glad it's there. Some might like to forget but it wasn't that long ago. We should remember.
Yes, I remember that. I was glad that the young man was paying so much attention to the inscription.
