Restoration and remembrance

The ad community is helping take part in a restoration project in Birmingham, Ala., the scene of some of the most violent incidents of the civil-rights movement. Lewis Communications, an independent Birmingham shop with about $60 million in annual billings, has donated three print ads (a detail from one is shown here) to help raise money for the $3.8 million restoration of the landmark Sixteenth Avenue Baptist Church. The 130-year-old church was bombed by Ku Klux Klan members on a Sunday morning in 1963, killing four young black girls in a Bible study class.
