The park preserves significant sites such as the 16th Street Baptist Church, where a tragic bombing occurred, and Kelly Ingram Park, known for peaceful protests. It serves as a testament to women's leadership and activism in fighting for racial equality and justice. The park offers educational exhibits and guided tours to help visitors understand this critical chapter in American history, honoring the courage and perseverance of those involved.
