I can’t encourage you enough to take a tour with Birmingham Black Heritage Walks. Both my eyes and mind were opened by this tour led by Marcia. Thoughtful, thought-provoking and important and wonderfully guided. For every monument not acknowledged by the city, you’ll learn about it here. A view into the tapestry of this city isn’t really complete without it. Trip consideration: think about taking a traditional tour earlier in the day beforehand, the contrast will blow your mind.
Bonus this experience will make you reconsider who tells history, holds history or honours history beyond the streets of Birmingham. Go!
