1963 civil rights march by schoolchildren in Birmingham, Alabama, U.S.

The Children's Crusade, or Children's March, was a march by over 1,000 school students in Birmingham, Alabama, on May 2–10, 1963. Initiated and organized by Rev.

Many children left their schools and were arrested, set free, and then arrested again the next day.
