A.G. Gaston Motel (Temporarily Closed) — Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument
The 1954 wing of the A.G. Gaston Motel, including the visitor center, is temporarily closed. The A.G. Gaston Motel served as the headquarters for the Birmingham campaign. In April through May of 1963 civil rights leaders, including Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., took up residence at the motel where they strategized and made critical decisions about the non-violent campaign that targeted Birmingham’s segregation laws and practices. Several key events of the campaign publicly unfolded at the property.
