Letter to Fastrac from Birmingham, AL

Kelly Ingram Park ( Freedom Park ) is considered by many as ground zero of the civil rights movement because of the events that took place here on September 15, 1963, when it finally opened the conscience of America. Water hoses and dogs were used on the crowd of peaceful civil rights protesters. Across from this park is the 16th Avenue Baptist Church.

Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum, Memphis TN. - Built in 1849 by Jacob Burkle, it served as a way-station on the underground railroad for runaway slaves; in the cellar is where slaves waited to escape north to freedom. There is a hole in the wall where slaves hid and crawled through. There are still four large maple trees in the yard that identified this house as a safe house for slaves seeking freedom.
