ABOUT US
Tabernacle Empowerment Community Development Corporation is located in the crossroads of Historic Center Street Birmingham, Alabama. Prior to the 1950s, the street served as a border between residential areas zoned for white and black residents under Birmingham's segregation laws. As that border was challenged by Alabama Civil Rights attorney Arthur D. Shores, a resident on Center Street and eventually ruled unconstitutional, the district became the focus of a firebombing campaign aimed both at black families moving in and white families selling out. The neighborhood earned the nickname of "Dynamite Hill".
