ASALH: Association for the Study of African American Life and History

3 days ago

On September 15, 1963, a bomb exploded at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, tragically killing four young girls—Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley—and injuring several others just before Sunday services. This horrific act of racial violence shocked the nation and intensified the civil rights movement, fueling widespread protests and calls for justice. The bombing highlighted the brutal reality of racial hatred in America and became a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights, ultimately contributing to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.#ASALH #civilrightof1964 #AddieMaeCollins #DeniseMcNair #caroleroberston #CynthiaWesley ...
