The Almost Lost Story of Tuxedo Junction

Tuxedo Junction — the neighborhood, the place and the song — is a special part of Birmingham’s and America’s music history, especially its Black history. It deserves to be not only told, but celebrated and cherished. Today, the region of Ensley is in despair, the Tuxedo Junction Nixon building that hosted the nighttime parties in shambles, and the once-standing heritage sign marking the site, stolen.
