Commemoration of the 1963 Palm Sunday March

The community is invited to come together to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the march to Birmingham City Hall from St. Paul Methodist Church. The program will begin at 10:00 AM at St. Paul UMC and will include acts of commemoration, music, poetry, etc. There will be a commemorative march from St. Paul to Kelly Ingram Park at the site of the “Three Kneeling Ministers.” On that day, there will also be a poetry reading at historic sites with the conclusion at St. Paul UMC with more poetry and music from the Scrollworks Music School students.

This will be followed by jazz and a variety of music entertainers, family fun, and food. Events of the day will end at about 5 PM.

We will also be commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Palm Sunday march. St. Paul has partnered with Magic City Poetry Festival to host this event and to host the annual “Poetry in the Park” event.
