Martin Luther King Jr. traveled to Birmingham, Alabama in 1963 to protest against racial segregation and economic inequality, as the city had a reputation for violence against black citizens due to frequent bombings of black communities and homes by white supremacists, with no arrests made by the almost entirely white police force and city government that enforced Jim Crow laws separating public services by race.
