Episode Details

Birmingham’s Rickwood Field and Civil Rights Trail sites made the prestigious Smithsonian list of 250 places that define America’s story—joining icons like Independence Hall and Pearl Harbor. After two years of research, the team spotlighted these landmarks for their deep cultural and historical significance, from witnessing baseball’s segregated past to standing as symbols of the civil rights movement’s courage.
