BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Directors voted Wednesday to rename the airport in this once-strictly segregated city for a civil rights leader who staged demonstrations alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Birmingham International Airport will become Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport once the FAA approves the change.
The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, 86, invited King to Birmingham in 1963 and later formed a group that fought segregation laws.
