SOE commemorated Birmingham’s Civil Rights Movement and the courageous stance taken by those who were determined to end racism. Because of their acts, Birmingham became ground zero, with a message that reverberated around the world and inspired genuine, positive change.
In honor of The Movement’s heroes, SOE shrouded the facade of its building on Sunday, September 15, 2013 with a ceremony at 2 pm.
A funerary wreath, titled Bundled Flights of Words and Hope is the work of Birmingham artist and UAB’s Associate Professor, Doug Baulos. Honor students performed a wreath laying ceremony.
