This statue in Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham is dedicated to the "foot soldiers" of the Civil Rights Movement. It features a police officer, his dog, and a protestor. The scenes of police dogs attacking protestors in Birmingham and being shot with water cannons sparked national outrage when they were shown on TV in the 1960s.
