A.G. Gaston Motel's $4M Facelift: A Civil Rights Landmark's New Chapter
Description
Birminghams historic A.G. Gaston Motel, a civil rights hub, closes for a $4M renovation. The motel, part of the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument, served as command center for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and leaders during the 1963 Birmingham Campaign. The renovation will recreate the famous War Room, add 1960s-era guest rooms, new exhibits on Gastons legacy, and an elevator for accessibility. A temporary visitor center will keep the story alive during construction.
