Faces of Fountain Heights

Advocating for the First Neighborhood in the Crosshairs of Birmingham’s Civil Rights Movement

Fountain Heights is one of Birmingham's earliest neighborhoods. It is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement and the heart of the city's business and theatre districts. Once a safe-haven for first-generation black homeowners, today the Fountain Heights neighborhood is blocked off by two of the city's busiest interstates. Many of its homes are marked by vacancy and disrepair.

This integrated campaign includes a neighborhood logo and icons, as well as a poster/postcard, brochure, art installation, social media, illustrations, and photography. It aims to achieve public awareness to preserve one of Birmingham's most historically influential neighborhoods.
