61 Years Ago in Birmingham, Alabama ...
Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner
"September 15, 1963 — 60 years ago today. An act of murderous cowardice in Birmingham, Alabama, shocked a nation. A bomb at the 16th Street Baptist Church placed by Klansmen killed four girls as they attended Sunday school. Many others were wounded."
The four girls killed:
Denise McNair, age 11.
Carole Robertson, 14.
Addie Mae Collins, 14.
Cynthia Wesley, 14.
@KarenSohne 🙏 "We're not going back" is such an apt phrase. It means so much.
@nealfig Thaks for the chilling reminder
