Alabama Short Stories

History


Birmingham has its share of statues around town. There are statues of people in Kelly Ingram Park, Linn Park, the UAB campus, Samford's Campus, the Birmingham Museum of Art, Five Points South, Rickwood Field, and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. Even Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations is on 4th Avenue North at 18th Street. I could go on and on about statues around town. The big three in Birmingham are Vulcan, Miss Electra, and Miss Liberty. And until 1989, they could see each other from their perches in and around downtown Birmingham. Our subject on this episode of Alabama Short Stories is Miss Liberty. Learn why she is in Birmingham, her journey to get here and why she relocated to the suburbs.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shawnwrightAL)
