The Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument, established in 2017, includes a few different locations that can be visited (mostly within walking distance of one another), including the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, the 16th Street Baptist Church, and Kelly Ingram Park.
There are multiple SAW's locations around town, but we recommend the Avondale location. This is a trusted place for authentic Alabama BBQ, fried chicken, and fixins. Taran recommends the Sweet Tea Fried Chicken Sandwich, and Ann Casey is a sucker for the fried green tomatoes, as well as the pimento cheese and pepper jelly.
