Its aim was to address racism and segregation in the United States. This event began on May 2, 1963, with the goal of having children occupy Birmingham's downtown district.The idea was for kids to take part in peaceful demonstrations instead of adults, who were more likely to be arrested or physically harmed. This was a significant part of the Civil Rights Movement because children were the most vulnerable group and would undoubtedly evoke strong emotions when they were attacked by police officers.
