Summary
When a bomb blasted through the basement of a black Baptist church on a peaceful fall morning in 1963, it took the lives of four young girls: Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley and Addie Mae Collins. This racially motivated crime, taking place at a time when the civil rights movement was burning with a new flame, could have doused that flame forever. Instead it fueled a nation's outrage and brought Birmingham, Alabama to the forefront of America's concern.
