Where fire hoses and police dogs met children who would not move, this park became the world's front page in May 1963. Bull Connor ordered his forces to turn on the marchers — many of them as young as 6 years old. What did the SCLC call this bold tactic of sending young people into the streets to face Connor's forces?
The sculpture shows 1963 Birmingham — young civil rights protesters against fire hoses. Count specifically the bronze figures of the children — not the officers, not the equipment — just the young people standing against the force.
