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.
