SUMMARY:Mapping Black Migration
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion in partnership with the City of Birmingham Office of Public Affairs \nIn recognition of Black History Month\, the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute\, in partnership with the City of Birmingham’s Office of Public Affairs\, will present Mapping Black Migration\, a dynamic panel discussion examining the historical and contemporary movements of Black Americans.

The program aims to foster intergenerational dialogue\, deepen public understanding of Black history\, and highlight Birmingham’s evolving role in the ongoing story of Black migration in America. \nPanelists include:  \nTiffani Saxton\, Executive Director of Birmingham Corps  \nJessie Dunbar\, Associate Professor\, African American Studies\, University of Alabama at Birmingham  \nLaurence Salvary\, Market Activation Manager\, Coca-Cola Bottling Company United inc.  \nAsya Whitley\, DNP\, CRNP\, FNP-BC\, Family Nurse Practitioner \nDate: February 26\, 2026 \nTime: Doors open at 5:00pm | Discussion begins at 5:30pm \nLocation: Birmingham Civil Rights Institute\, Community Meeting Room \nClick Here to Register\n \n
