For decades, Birmingham was known as an iron and steel town. The beautiful surrounding hills were filled with a sizeable amount of raw materials to help spur on America’s industrial revolution. Founded after the Civil War, the little town exploded in growth with the coming of the railroad. Another revolution happened less than a hundred years later. As southern Blacks stood up for justice and equality in the 1960s, Birmingham became central to the struggle. Today, Birmingham remains a place of remembrance and southern hospitality.
