VIDEO: Birmingham's Kelly Ingram Park

The Civil Rights Institute describes Kelly Ingram Park:
Birmingham's Kelly Ingram Park was the staging ground for Civil Rights rallies, demonstrations and marches during the tumultous years of the 1960s. It was in Kelly Ingram Park that Birmingham police and firemen turned attack dogs and high-powered hoses on participants rallying for human rights and simple decency. These images will forever be associated with Birmingham and Kelly Ingram Park.
And here is Thirty Days, standing near the park's northwest corner.
