Glen Iris

Glen Iris might not have many top sights, but Regions Field and Alys Robinson Stephens Performing Arts Center are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Glen Iris
I feel like I had heard of this church, but didnt really understand the significance of what happened there until I visited. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute right next door is a really well done history of racism and civil rights in the US. I'd definitely recommend if you are in Birmingham for a while.

Fountain Heights

If you're spending some time in Fountain Heights, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and Alabama Theater are top sights worth seeing.

Fountain Heights
This sculpture in Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham, Alabama depicts a vicious dog attack during the civil rights protests in 1963. This sculpture is very effective. I got chills walking through and imagining what it just have been like. #civilrights #historymatters
