Title: History Of The Day - 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing (1963)
Post by: TFD on Sep 15, 2013, 05:31 AM
Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church has been an Alabama institution since 1873. During the civil rights movement of the 1960s, it served as an organizational headquarters, meeting site, and rallying point for blacks protesting racism in the South. This made it a target for the Ku Klux Klan, which arranged to bomb the church during Sunday services. Four young girls died in the attack and more than 20 others were injured. What sermon were congregants about to hear when the bombing took place? Discuss (http://forum.thefreedictionary.com/postst40555_First-Man-Made-Object-Reaches-the-Moon--1959-.aspx)
