16th Street Baptist Church

What a wonderful experience I had visiting this historically beautiful church where Martin Luther King Jr was a pastor in. Everything had this holy and nostalgic feeling and everyone was so kind and welcoming to me.

I had just touched the exterior brick of the Church and I just about started to cry. Very moving experience. Also please go across the street and walk through Freedom Walk park.

Very heart felt from the moment I step out my car onto this property. Just to think of what happened to these children for no reason, other than the hate in others heart for people of a different color. In a place you would think you are safe. Read the stories behind this landmark of history

It was an emotional visit for me.

I'm so glad I made a detour to visit this historic site.

Their panels with pictures and timelines were very neatly displayed, and the information on them was very comprehensive. After the excellent guided tour, I had to go back to the panels exhibit and further read all the information.

There is so much history in this place! It celebrates the struggles, tragedies and triumphs and is still a vibrant church community.

Well worth the visit. Excellent staff

Tony, Noel and I visited the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham Alabama. This church is steeped with history especially during the Civil Rights in the 60s. This is the church that was bombed killing several innocent little girls. Very sad history!
The church is beautiful and you can tour it for free! If you are in the area you definitely need to visit the church.

I took my daughter to visit this as she loves history. We had an amazing time. We did not do the tour due timing but just to be there with apart of black history, was an amazing feeling!

A Landmark Worthy To Be Seen. Sacred. Holy Ground.

I will never forget my visit here! So much history, the site of the 1963 terrorist attack on a black church that claimed the lives of 4 African-American girls. My visit included videos and a tour and the staff are very knowledgeable and allow for questions. My life will never be the same thanks to this place.

We were excited to visit this historic civil rights location. Although known for a sad event, I am proud to be able to visit the memorial site. My visit allowed me to be a part of our American history decades later.

this is where 4 young, beautiful Black girls lives were stolen by KKK clansmen. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described it as "one of the most vicious and tragic crimes ever perpetrated against humanity.” this is history that needs to be told!

This was the best tour so far on our Civil Rights Trail road trip. To be standing in a place that I have read about and watched documentaries about was powerful. The tour guides were so knowledgeable about this tragedy that happened before any of them were born. The church is beautiful. The film was very powerful. The 10:22 clock was real life. I highly recommend this tour to all history buffs and civil rights buffs. This tour is well worth your time and money! Only $15.90 for two people and it was the best tour by far! ❤

Every American needs to visit this sacred, hollowed ground. 😔

Absolutely worth your time to stop in to this historic church, take a tour, learn the timeline and history. Give yourself about an hour, we thoroughly enjoyed our education here.

This is history and a place to visit. I was a little upset because the city is not taking care of the park where history happened. When you visit this place do a little research on the names of the streets and why the names where changed but it is a tourist place to visit in daytime

A must see visit to learn about the civil rights movement in the US. unfortunately this place was bombed by racists who thought it was not a problem to bomb a church on a Sunday thus killing 4 innocent little girls.
whether you are a christian or not, the place deserves a visit to pay respects. it is right next to the civil rights museum, so there is no excuse not to make a stop

Attended a wonderful service here on MLK day with my family and we loved it. We also took a tour downstairs to see the museum like displays the told the history of the church and included photos of the four young girls that died. It was a wonderful visit and the wonderful time.

A must see if you're in Birmingham
