Of all of the many battlegrounds for Civil Rights in the South, - TopicsExpress



          

Of all of the many battlegrounds for Civil Rights in the South, Birmingham stood out for the level of sheer ferocity and brutality of opposition to change. Then, on September 15, 1963 the already blood-soaked city was rocked by a Sunday morning bomb blast at the 16th Avenue Baptist Church. When the dust and smoke cleared, four young girls were dead and 22 other people were injured. It was a crime of such sickening brutality that it shocked the nation. If it happened today, it would be called what it surely was then—an act of terrorism.
