The Civil Rights Movement in Huntsville played a
significant role in the broader struggle for racial equality
during the 1960s. While Huntsville was known for its
rapid growth and technological advancements, it also
faced deep-seated segregation and discrimination.
Listen as Sonny Hereford IV presents pictures and
detailed accounts of the Civil Rights Movement in North
Alabama—from the 1930s to the present, including his
own story as the first Black child who made history in
1963 to integrate a public school in Alabama.
