On May2-5, 1963, Rev. James Bevel organized hundreds of school children in Birmingham, Alabama to march through the town during the American Civil Rights Movement's Birmingham Campaign to meet the mayor and speak to him about their feelings on segregation. Though the children and their organizers remained peaceful, police arrested many of the children and ordered fire hoses and police dogs to help stop the march. This march and the resulting actions against it were one factor that led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Children's March, also known as the Birmingham Campaign, ended on May 10, 1963. It lasted for several days and involved thousands of young demonstrators who were advocating for civil rights in Birmingham, Alabama. The marches culminated in a negotiated agreement between the city and civil rights leaders.
The children's match (also known as the 1963 Birmingham children's crusade) was started by Reverend James L. Bevel. He was one of the prominent leaders of the 1960's civil rights movement. He was commonly referred to as the "Father of Voting Rights" and the "Strategist and Architect of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement"
Flint and Birmingham were both segragated in the civil rights movement
