Closed down steel furnace at SLOSS Furnaces pictured in Birmingham, Alabama, United States, on April 5, 2013. SLOSS Furnaces was in operation from 1882 to 1971 and was of vital economic importance for the area. Two thirds of the employees were black. In 1983 it was turned into a museum. Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama with approximately 210'000 inhabitants (1960: 340'000), almost 75 percent are of African American origin. During the founding years (from 1871) the steel industry and railroading were the relevant economic factors and lead to a boom and the byname "The Magic City". The following name modification during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s was far from glorious: "Bombingham". The city was the epicenter of African American protests, the events of 1963 had effects on the whole country and lead to global awareness. (KEYSTONE/Simon Tanner) SLOSS Furnaces.

In der Gruendungszeit (ab 1871) waren die Stahlindustrie und die Eisenbahn treibende Wirtschaftsfaktoren und fuehrte zu einem Boom und dem Beinamne "The Magic City". Weniger ruhmreich war die folgende Namensabwandlung waehrend der Buergerrechtsbewegung in den 1960er-Jahren: "Bombingham". Die Stadt war das Epizentrum der afro-amerikanischen Proteste und die Entwicklungen während des Jahres 1963 hatten Auswirkungen für das ganze Land und führte zu globaler Bekanntheit.
