Civil Rights Memories

Birmingham’s ties to the Civil Rights Movement are as deep as the iron mines it was built on. During the Movement, Dr. King and other civil rights leaders selected Birmingham as the staging ground for their protests. Their efforts in Birmingham created lasting change throughout the country.

In 2017, the Birmingham Civil Rights District was established as a National Monument. The Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument does more than just acknowledge where we’ve been. It offers visitors a chance to celebrate where we’re going. Explore the Birmingham sites that helped galvanize the nation.

In the Birmingham Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, Jacob Lawrence’s The American Struggle series expresses the diverse but mutually linked fortunes of all Americans. This 30-piece series of paintings is intended to depict, in the artist’s words, “the struggles of a people to create a nation and their attempt to build a democracy.”

Sixteenth Street Baptist Church

Worship services are held Sundays at 11 a.m. Tours by appointment. A significant part of the Civil Rights District, the newly renovated church is the site of the infamous 1963 bombing that killed four little girls and brought world condemnation of racial violence. Sixteenth Street continues its

historical role as an open-door church welcoming cultural, educational and civic activities.

Kelly Ingram Park

Distinguished as “A Place of Revolution and Reconciliation,” historic Kelly Ingram Park serves as a threshold to the Civil Rights District. During the Civil Rights Movement, this public park became the focal point of a grassroots resistance to the inhumanities of racism and discrimination by law and by custom. Events which took place in Kelly Ingram Park vividly portrayed the realities of police dogs and fire hoses turned on marchers who gathered for civil rights demonstrations in the 1960’s. These images, which shocked the country and the world, proved to be instrumental in overturning legal segregation in the nation. Sculptures commissioned for the park depict attacks on demonstrators, children jailed for their role in the protests, and a tribute to the clergy’s contributions to the movement. In sharp contrast to scenes from the 60’s all paths on Freedom Walk converge

Civil Rights Memories

Fourth Avenue Business District

The neighborhood developed as the city’s black business district in the early part of the 1900s. Forced out by Jim Crow segregation and white-owned stores that did not welcome them as customers, African-American businessmen established their own retail, social and cultural center here. Black-owned banks, mortuaries, movie theaters and nightclubs flourished along the corridor through the 1960s. Some continue to this day.

Alabama Penny Savings Bank

Now the Pythian Building, the Alabama Penny Savings Bank was Alabama’s first black-owned bank and the first of three banks in the nation owned and operated by African-Americans in the early 1900s.

A.G. Gaston Gardens

Formerly the A.G. Gaston Motel, this facility for many years provided Birmingham’s only firstclass lodging for African-Americans and served in the 1960s as a gathering place for civil rights leaders.

on its center, a peaceful and meditative life spring of hope.

Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI)

A “living institution” which views the lessons of the past as a positive way to chart new directions for the future. BCRI’s permanent exhibitions are a self-directed journey through the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement and human rights struggles. Multi-media exhibitions focus on the history of African-American life and the struggle for civil rights. Visitors experience for themselves the drama of this courageous story as it is told in the permanent galleries. The Human Rights Gallery takes the visitor Beyond Birmingham to look at human issues around the world. The institute is more than a museum; it is a center for education, research and discussion about civil and human rights issues. Educational programs include workshops, lectures, traveling exhibitions and special events. Hours: are Tues.-Sat. 10-5, Sunday 1-5 www.bcri.org

Tuxedo Junction

Named for the streetcar crossing at Tuxedo Park, the junction came to national fame through the 1939 hit song “Tuxedo Junction” by Birmingham composer Erskine Hawkins. The second floor dance hall of the Nixon Building (1922) here was the social hub for Birmingham’s black community in the 1920s and 30s.

James Black Forged The First Bowie Knife

JAMES BLACK: LIFE AND LEGACY” EXHIBIT

Historic Washington State Park

What to know

James Black (1800-1872) was one of the early settlers to Washington, Hempstead County, Arkansas, moving to the area by the early 1820s. Black is famous for forging the legendary “Bowie Knife” for James Bowie. His life includes many successes including a successful career as a bladesmith, and public servant in the early years of Hempstead County, Arkansas. By the middle part of his life, he faced many tragedies, losing his family, career, and becoming a pauper. He later was known in the community of Washington as “Uncle Jimmy Black.” He went blind in his later years and was known for his ability to recount stories of early Hempstead County.

In this exhibit, learn more about the man behind the legend and stories of the “Bowie Knife.” Like many during his time, James Black moved west to Arkansas for new possibilities. He had successes and tragedies. Though he is best known for his blade making skills, there is more to his life that reflects the struggles of many on the frontier. His name continues to be mentioned as part of the history of Washington, Arkansas and America.

103 Franklin Street Washington, AR 71862

James Black was born in Hackensack, New Jersey on 1 May 1800.[1] James’ mother died when he was very young and he had difficulty getting along with his stepmother. Black ran away from home to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at age 8 and was apprenticed to a silversmith.[1] At age 18 he migrated westward and took jobs on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. About 1820 Black spent some time at Bayou Sara in Louisiana working as a ferryman and as a steamboat deckhand on the Red River which took him upstream to Fulton, Arkansas. Black left the boat and settled at a crossroads 14 miles northeast of Fulton that would later become Washington, Arkansas and Black’s permanent home.[1]

Black’s shop has been recreated as part of the Old Washington Historic State Park. Old Washington is the headquarters of the American Bladesmith Society and they maintain a knife-making college at the site. Black’s knives are exceedingly rare and are prized by collectors.

Several examples of early Bowie knives are on display at the Historic Arkansas Museum as part of the American Bladesmith Society collection.

James Black Forged The First Bowie Knife

In 1996, Black was inducted into the American Bladesmith Society Hall of Fame as an inauguree.[5]

The “Bowie knife” became an iconic American weapon in the mid-19th century, but few realize Arkansas’ connection to its story.

In 1830, knife-fighter Jim Bowie commissioned Arkansas blacksmith James Black to forge the 12-inch blade. Bowie’s killing of three Texas assassins and his death at the Alamo made him, and the knife, legends. Black’s workshop in Washington, Ark. became inundated with requests from frontiersmen eager to own a “Bowie knife.”

Known as “Arkansas toothpicks”, Black’s knives were notoriously tough, yet flexible, and used a secret tempering process rumored to be Damascus steel.

To date, Black’s forging technique hasn’t been duplicated.

Go, See, Do Robert Hicks House Added To Civil Rights Trail

BOGALUSA – Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser and the Louisiana Office of Tourism recently dedicated the seventh marker along the Louisiana Civil Rights Trail. This marker recognizes the Robert “Bob” Hicks House, located at 924 Robert “Bob” Hicks Street in Bogalusa.

The Robert “Bob” Hicks House served as the base of operations for the Bogalusa Civil Rights Movement. It was a regular meeting place for the officers of the Bogalusa Civic and Voters League (BCVL) and the local Chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). The house was a safe place for civil rights workers and served as an emergency triage station. The breakfast room became the communications center for the Bogalusa Chapter of the Deacons of Defense and Justice, an armed self-defense group who protected civil rights workers from violence. The living room was an unofficial office for the civil rights attorneys who pioneered groundbreaking lawsuits in education, housing, and employment. In 2015, the Robert “Bob” Hicks House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

“We are proud to tell the extraordinary story of Robert ‘Bob’ Hicks and the importance of his house. It’s amazing that the family continued to live in the house with all of the civil rights activities going on around them,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “It’s a privilege to honor Mr. Hicks, his family, and all those from Bogalusa who strived to make rights real in Louisiana.” Hicks is best known for his leadership in founding the Bogalusa Chapter of the Deacons for Defense and Justice. He later served as president and vice president of the Bogalusa Civic and Voters League. In August 1967, Hicks joined civil rights activists A.Z. Young and Gayle Jenkins to lead the Bogalusa to Baton Rouge March, referred to as the “105-mile gauntlet.” While facing substantial opposition requiring protection from National Guardsmen and police, the march grew from 25 to 600 people during the journey. The first series of Louisiana Civil Rights Trail markers were installed at Little Union Baptist Church in Shreveport, Dooky Chase’s Restaurant in New Orleans, and the Louisiana Old State Capitol and A.Z. Young Park in Baton Rouge. In 2022, a second series of marker have been installed at McDonogh 19 Elementary School in New Orleans and the Louisiana Maneuvers and Military Museum in Pineville.

These markers are placed in cities and towns across Louisiana that depict the significant role the state played in shaping American history during the 1950s and 60s. The dynamic life-sized Civil Rights Trail markers provide a compelling interactive experience for visitors that makes them feel a part of the civil rights journey. The Louisiana Civil Rights Trail markers are striking life-sized metal figure markers cut from steel and stand over six feet tall and weigh over 200 lbs.

The Louisiana Civil Rights Trail brings together the events of the 1950s and 1960s that placed the

Robert Hicks House Added To Civil Rights Trail

state of Louisiana at the center of the national Civil Rights Movement and narrates the compelling stories and experiences of the people who dedicated themselves and their lives to making civil rights real in Louisiana.

The Louisiana Civil Rights Trail informs, inspires, and invites visitors to experience and explore Louisiana’s prominent role in the Civil Rights Movement. The trail reveals inside stories and examines the civil rights era from culture and commerce to desegregation and protests and confrontations. Two years in the making, the Louisiana Civil Rights Trail was developed with community vision and public submissions from across the state.

Twenty-two meetings were held in every region of the state and university scholars and subject matter experts reviewed all submissions. Like the fight for Civil Rights, the work of the Louisiana Civil Rights Trail is ongoing. To learn more about the unique and important history of the movement in the State of Louisiana or to nominate a site, a person or an activity for inclusion, visit LouisianaCivilRightsTrail.com.

Concord Inventions

Concord is a historic capital city that has been home to some inventors that changed our world. Here are just a few of those inventions:

Modern kitchen stove

Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, (1753-1814), was a New England-born inventor and scientist. His wife, Sarah Rolfe, was from Concord. He designed a kitchen stove made of brick, with a cylindrical oven and holes at the top for pots. When not in use, the opening could be covered over leaving the fire to smolder gently. His stove was widely considered the forefather of the kitchen stove.

Drip coffeepot

Although the history of drip coffee making dates back to 18th century France, Sir Benjamin Thompson (a talented man) developed a “French Drip Pot” with an insulating water jacket to keep the coffee hot. Now coffee could stay hot longer, and yes, a cup of coffee HAS TO be fresh when served, but sometimes we prefer convenience over authenticity – now you could have hot coffee, brewed fresh.

Double Boiler

Drip coffee pot was just the first step – Sir Benjamin came up with an idea of double boiler, a unique cooking pot that was designed for convenience AND time saving. Double boilers are ideal for heating more delicate sauces, puddings, and pie fillings—anything prone to scorching. They also eliminate the need for constant stirring, a real time saver in the kitchen. The biggest benefit of a double boiler was that the food was cooked by steam instead of heat, and steam is less likely to burn a meal (in case you get distracted by those Pinterest recipes while cooking, like I do.)

Rumford Fireplace

The last but not least invention of Sir Benjamin was the Rumford Fireplace. A little throwback to history – from February 9, 1734 till 1765, Concord was known as “Rumford,” from which Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford took his title. In fact, he named one of his inventions after former-Concord – Rumford Fireplace. When Rumford fireplace was invented by Thompson in the 1790s, it created a worldwide sensation, the new fireplace had unknown before features – he came up with the idea of restricting the chimney opening to increase the up draught. He and his workers changed fireplaces by inserting bricks into the hearth to make the side walls angled, and they added a choke to the chimney to create a circulation of air inside the chimney. Now, the fireplaces became shallower and smaller, while reflecting much more heat into the room.

First American Alarm Clock

Although some of us would call an alarm clock a not-so-good invention (we are in the same boat, don’t worry), but it has a long and interesting history. The first alarm clock may have originated with Leonardo Da Vinci. But it was Levi Hutchins, who invented the first American alarm clock. Levi Hutchins was an American watchmaker from Concord, NH. His alarm clock, created in 1787, was a 29 x 14” timepiece with a cabinet made of pine, and had the internal mechanism of a brass clock. An interesting fact – his alarm could only ring one time per day at 4 AM, and that was when he would begin his day. Hutches lived to the age of 94, who knows, maybe 4 AM wake-up calls were his secret to longevity. Want to try?
