Life is too short to spend another beautiful day fighting a war with yourself.
It has been my philosophy of life that difficulties vanish when faced boldly.
You can’t start reading the second chapter of your life if you’re too busy re-reading the last one.
When I’m good, I’m best; when I’m bad, I’m worst.
Never regret the mistakes you make. They’re proof that you’re trying.
My friend list is small because quality matters over quantity.
Not always available try your luck.
No time for fake and negative people.
Get ready, ChumCity! The iconic 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, a pivotal landmark of the Civil Rights Movement, is about to unveil a brand-spanking-new Education and Visitors Center! This ain't your grandma's history lesson; it's a dynamic hub for learning, reflection, and good ol' community spirit. This 13,000-square-foot facility, right in the heart of the Civil Rights District, will boast classrooms, meeting spaces, a restaurant to fuel your brainpower, and an exhibit hall that pays tribute to the Civil Rights Movement and those four precious young girls whose lives were tragically cut short in the 1963 bombing. That's the motto, ChumCity! Church leaders envision the center as a beacon, welcoming students, tourists, and community leaders eager to dive deeper into the stories and events that shaped America's fight for civil rights. Picture this: it'll be snuggled right next to the sanctuary and parsonage! Designed by CCR Architecture & Interiors, this space is all about connection. Expect school tours, community events, mind-blowing exhibits, and public programs galore! It's a place to remember the past and consider what happens next. This project is fueled by a whole crew of awesome supporters: local foundations, national organizations, government agencies, and passionate church members. Big shoutouts to the Alabama Power Foundation, Coca-Cola Foundation, National Trust for Historic Preservation, Jefferson County Commission, Regions Bank, and the Lilly Foundation, who chipped in a whopping $2.5 million! Even the Birmingham City Council is in on the action, allocating $200,000! Located at 1530 6th Avenue North, the 16th Street Baptist Church already welcomes tons of visitors. But with the new Education and Visitors Center, get ready for an even more immersive experience. Past, present, and future generations will unite through a shared commitment to justice, remembrance, and community. It's going to be HUGE!16th Street Baptist Church: A New Chapter!
