emotional gravity of the project was not lost on her. A Birmingham native herself, Elizabeth was well aware of the region\u2019s history of inequality and injustice. She knew that many of the visitors of the memorial were active participants in the civil rights movement, in Birmingham, during the 1960s. This was her opportunity to play a small part in a monumental&nbsp;struggle.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/16thStreetBaptistMemorial.jpg\" title=\"The Four Spirits\" data-rl_title=\"The Four Spirits\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/16thStreetBaptistMemorial.jpg\" alt=\"The Four Spirits\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-474\" pagespeed_url_hash=\"1149958839\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>\n \t<dd class=\"wp-caption-text gallery-caption text-center\" id=\"gallery-3-474\">\n\t\t\t\tThe Four Spirits<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<br style=\"clear: both\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/gallery item --><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/cols --><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/slide -->\n<div id=\"greyed\" class=\"style1 row panel\">\n<div class=\"container pt-1 pb-4\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-sm-11 col-md-10 ml-auto mr-auto\">\n<div class=\"row text-center\">\n<h1 class=\"c1 text-center wide\">Building &#8216;The Four Spirits&#8217;<\/h1>\n<p class=\"text-center mb-5\">\nThe public memorial began as a concept proposed by a volunteer nonprofit committee and made a reality in about four months.
