Birmingham Civil Rights National Park petition surpasses 10,000

A petition supporting the establishment of a Birmingham Civil Rights National Park topped 10,000 signatures nationwide this week.

Last week, the petition and the National Park proposal gained momentum as a result of a visit and public hearing held by Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell to consider designating places around the Birmingham’s Civil Rights District a National Park.

The petition was started by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Their goal?

15,000 signatures.
