It is evident and clear that the Civil Rights movement and its history must never be forgotten.  When we consider the major impact that the movement had on Birmingham, Alabama, across this nation and, around the world we see that civil rights for blacks were made real.  We felt it necessary to establish the Civil Rights Activists Foot Soldiers Committee to continue in excellence and in greatness.

 

The Civil Rights Activists Committee is a non-profit 501(3C) cooperation that was established in the year 1991.  The purpose and power of this committee is organized to gather and preserve historical facts and materials for the public, exhibit documents and research for years to come.  This provides a mechanism for generations to come so that they will know who made it possible for those who are a result of the Civil Rights Struggle.

 

This cooperation is made up of persons who were there and were eyewitnesses and also victims of police brutality.  They are people who actually worked on the Civil Rights freedom buses, lead marches in the streets of Birmingham, brought children from school grounds to push on the doors of segregation with their bodies as human sacrifices, meeting police dogs and water hoses then jailed by the thousands for standing up.  This shocked the nation and the world.  Birmingham set the tone for the National struggle for Civil Rights.  

 

There were voiced events that are unpublished and those are the events that helped achieve the Civil Rights Act so that poor whites and blacks could participate in the Democratic process and equal rights of this nation.  The committee was incorporated in order to help provide information and more enlightened facts in a corporate manner.  With the incorporation of the committee, affidavits and pictures of persons and events unpublished, unknown and known anti-human acts done to the Civil Rights workers.  

 

The Civil Rights Foot Soldiers Activist Committee was incorporated March 14, 1991 under the following incorporators: T. Edward Wrenn, Eddie J. Sanders, Jr., Rev. Tony Cooper, Lillie Brown and Yvonne W. Turner.
