Get the full and truthful history of Birmingham’s
Civil Rights through the storytelling lens of
youth justice leaders.
It’s Not Just an App. Here’s WHY.
WHAT WE DO
Informed by galleries from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI), The Movement is a mobile app dedicated to sharing Birmingham's rich history through visual stories, audio interviews, and AR installations across the city.
Recognizing that youth shape movements and culture, we feature young people as historians and storytellers, empowering them with the tools to guide and create the app's content.
Our immersive experiences connect visitors to Birmingham’s downtown and neighborhood landmarks, bringing history to life through the eyes of the next generation.

Meet Our Storytellers
Our work is guided by a simple principle: follow young people. Youth Storytellers help from the research to the production of each story featured in The Movement. We provide our youth partners the tools to learn their authentic history and share it in their communities.
I am a lover of people and progress. Working to change the world through stories. This project feels like an opportunity to finally give our people their flowers.

My philosophy is being a student of things that interest you takes you the farthest in life. This project is important to me because it's important to highlight how even small victories from people changed the trajectory for a lot of others.
