"Britain's foreign secretary to tour U.S. civil rights sites

Sunday, October 16, 2005
Associated Press

London - Britain's foreign secretary will accompany U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on a tour of civil rights sites in Alabama next weekend...

Rice spoke to reporters as she flew from Moscow to London for a dinner meeting with her British counterpart, Jack Straw.

Straw "has an interest in the civil rights period and in minority rights," said Rice, the first black woman to be the top U.S. diplomat. Straw's Northern England legislative district of Blackburn is more than 25 percent Muslim.

Straw and Rice plan to tour the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., with surviving relatives of four black girls who died there in a Ku Klux Klan bombing in 1963. Rice grew up in Birmingham and knew one of the victims."
