Birmingham, Alabama


 On September 15th 1963 a bomb exploded during Sunday morning services in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four girls. Fifteen sticks of dynamite were planted in the churches basement and it turned out to be under the girls restroom. This was the third attack after the American government tried to integrate Alabama's school system. At the funeral of the three girls Martin Luther King Jr addressed to more than 8000 mourners, which I assume we'll be reading about in class.
