Question

Nasty members of the kkk placed a bomb in the bottom of a black church in 1963. Addie Mae Collins, 11, Carole Robertson, 14, Denise McNaire, 14, and Cynthia Wesley, 14 and 2 teachers died in the basement when they were preparing Sunday school. Everyone in the church was injured. The 2 men who planted the bomb in the basement were not arrested until tried to bomb the same church in 1977. They were not arrested until after the second bombing act. Thankfully they did not get to plant the bomb in the church the second time. They were not arrested until january of 1978. This is the song "the ballad of birmingham" http://www.tnstate.edu/hmaddux/balladofbirmingham/Balladsong.mp3

Answer 1

Yes, I have thought about it and there are a couple books that deal with this or very similar issues ...

ML King's "Why We Can't Wait" is the classic and also the one where the family goes on vacation from Cleveland and it starts off as a terrific comedy and ends with the bombings.

It was truly a horrible act and those who did it were finally caught.

Answer 2

......Oh! THAT Birmingham.

I thought you meant the REAl one.....
