In 1963, Birmingham, Alabama, became a pivotal battleground for the Civil Rights Movement, particularly for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which was led by Martin Luther King Jr. The SCLC organized a series of protests, including marches and sit-ins, to combat racial segregation and injustice in the city. The violent response from local authorities, including police brutality against peaceful demonstrators, drew national attention to the civil rights struggle and galvanized support for the movement. This culminated in significant legislative changes, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
