A CONJUNCTION

"But" redirects here. For other uses, see BUT.
In grammar, a conjunction (abbreviated conj or cnj) is a part of speech that connects two words, phrases or clauses together. This definition may overlap with that of other parts of speech, so what constitutes a "conjunction" should be defined for each language. In general, a conjunction is an invariable grammatical particle, and it may or may not stand between the items it conjoins.

The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963 Step # 3(Project)

September 15,1963

I thought today would be a normal day until my ears were ringing and my eyes popped open it sounded like a bomb but it couldn't be another bomb.The clouds were gone and the air was thick I didn't know what to do with myself. 11-year-old Denise McNair and three 14-year-olds: Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Addie Mae Collins were killed when a dynamite bomb exploded at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. The girls had been in a basement dressing room, discussing their first days at school and preparing for the 11:00am Adult Service. The church had been a center for many civil rights rallies and meetings, and after the tragedy, it became a focal point drawing many moderate whites into the civil rights movement.
By the end of the day, riots and fires had broken out throughout Birmingham and another 2 teenagers were dead.

The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963 Step # 4(Project)

September 15, 1963
The bombing of Birmingham's Sixteenth street Baptist Church,which resulted to the death of four innocent black girls,was the nadir of the Civil Rights movement in Birmingham and one of the most darkest days in Birmingham. City authorities, never sympathetic to blacks, did very little to bring the bombers to justice. Not until 1977 was one of the bombers convicted. Locally, the bombing brought the factional Civil Rights leaders together. Nationally, the bombing gave the movement not just a face, but four faces, four young, innocent faces.
The people who did the bombing were white people(racism) they did it on September 15, 1963.
They did it on 16th street Bapist Church.
They did it beacause they didn't want black people liveing in Birmingham.
They planted a bomb in the wall of the church.
