1963 Birmingham Civil Rights Campaign
Today

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Birmingham civil rights campaign.

This event was part of the Alabama Historical Association’s annual conference.

Monday

Two of Betty Ford's four children -- Susan Ford Bales and Steve Ford -- remember her as a wife, mother and first lady.

This conversation was part of a conference held at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
