Birmingham and Alabama were focal points of America’s civil rights movement. Commemorating the roles the city and state played is the focus of the latest in a series of new additions serving travelers at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM).

Officially opened with a ceremony on Aug. 24, the Civil Rights Trail Market features items celebrating the people and places that helped to advance social justice in the 1950s and 1960s. The store offerings highlight the U.S. Civil Rights Trail, which encompasses more than 135 locations across 15 states, including sites in eight Alabama cities. It features the official U.S. Civil Rights Trail book, branded merchandise and a mural that walks travelers through the national and local movements.
