Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Kelly Ingram Park is a historic four acre park in the Birmingham Civil Rights District. It was the location for large demonstrations during the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Named after a local firefighter, Osmond Kelly Ingram, the park contains many sculptures and monuments.

In May of 1963, Birmingham police and firemen confronted protesters who were children and high school students; they used firehoses and police dogs and when images of this confrontation were broadcast, it resulted in a public outcry. It also resulted in the end of public segregation and eventually the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
