Birmingham – Papa John's Bowl Trip Tips

Most of the time that you spend in Birmingham when you travel there for the Papa John's Bowl will probably revolve around football. Whether it be the time you spend at the game, the time you spend getting ready for the game, the time you spend tailgating before the game, or the time you spend recovering FROM the game. However, despite the football frenzy that you will be engulfed in, there still just may be a few moments here and again in which you decide that it's time to take a break from the pigskin, and partake in another activity. And Birmingham has a wide range of activities to choose from.

If the family is along for the trip, why not provide them with something, just a little something, educational…at least beyond the inevitable math lessons and displays of sportsmanship found at the game. One of the most esteemed sites in the city of Birmingham is that of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute was created as a means of providing a visual representation of the plight of African-Americans in Birmingham to become full and active members if the community and fully represented in the city government. This struggle is seen by many as a microcosm of the efforts by African-Americans across the nation during the time, and as such, is representative of so much more. http://www.bcri.org/index.html
