May Peace Prevail on Earth


Today marks the 50th anniversary of the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. It took the lives of 4 innocent little girls that day.  There will be a dedication of a sculpture in their memory today across the street from the church in Kelly Ingram Park.  I think this peace pole at the church says it all.

The Carver


Opened in 1935, it now houses the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame. In the beginning it was the only place in Birmingham that blacks could see first run movies. How great that it has been preserved.
