Birmingham, Alabama – Funeral services will take place today for the late Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth. The civil rights icon died earlier this month at the age of eighty nine. Today's memorial follows a viewing yesterday at Birmingham's Civil Rights Institute. Among those who came to pay their respects was Lisa Riles. The Dayton, Ohio woman is one of Shuttlesworth's cousins. Riles spoke with Alabama Public Radio's Pat Duggins about the man she knew as cousin Fred.
