Birmingham’s neighborhoods are incubators for creativity and hubs for collaboration. Their residents are servants leaders, creative minds, educators, and change agents.
These are the neighborhoods where young children marched for the freedom of all Americans. They’re the same neighborhoods where medical innovations are changing the world.
This is Birmingham. And these are the stories of our 99 neighborhoods.
