Birmingham woman run over, killed following domestic dispute. A woman was killed Wednesday night after she was run over by a car following a domestic dispute.

In 1963, Birmingham became a focus for the civil rights movement. Birmingham, as a city, had made its mark on the civil rights movement for a number of years. Whether it was through the activities of Bull Connor or the bombed church which killed four school girls, many Americans would have known about Birmingham by 1963. Both SNCC and the NAACP were relatively inactive in Birmingham; so any civil rights campaign could be lead by SCLC without too much rivalry. Martin Luther Kingâs brother was also a pastor in the city so family connections helped the role of SCLC. Why was Birmingham so important? It was a KKK stronghold and King described it as Americaâs worst city for racism.
