BIRMINGHAM, AL — Birmingham is known for its role in civil rights, as the city was the epicenter of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, and that has apparently not changed, according to a recent study that lists Birmingham as one of the nation's most inclusive cities.

The study, released by the Human Rights Campaign, gives Birmingham a score of 100 in its report on inclusivity among U.S. cities. The Human Rights Campaign is the largest civil rights organization advocating for the LGBTQ community in the country.

The study looked at non-discrimination laws, the municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement and leadership on the LGBTQ equality.
