Birmingham Civil Rights Institute set to reopen

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is set to reopen after building repairs prompted the facility’s unexpected closure.

Officials said in a statement that the institute is scheduled to reopen to the public at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Institute President and CEO Andrea Taylor has said contractors addressed water leaks and worked to seal gaps in the building’s walls. Taylor says institute officials are pleased to reopen in time for the holiday season.
