Icon Fred Shuttlesworth, overlooked by history, breathed life into civil rights story | al.com: BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Alabama is the only state in the country where the K-12 history curriculum mentions the late civil rights leader Fred Shuttlesworth. Historians say that's a shame, considering his key role in events that shaped the nation, but it's also not surprising, since the history of the movement is given relatively short shrift.
