#NeverForget #Cynthia Wesley #CaroleRobertson #AddieMaeCollins (all 14 years old), and 11-year-old #DeniseMcNair - The four girls murdered in the #16thStreetBaptistChurchBombing 60 years ago today (Sept. 15, 1963) in Birmingham, Alabama. The heinous act of white supremacist domestic terrorism was carried out soon after the 1963 #MarchonWashington for Jobs and Freedom (Aug. 28, 1963.)
#SarahCollinsRudolph was severely injured in the bombing and two Black boys were murdered that same day in Birmingham: 16-year-old #JohnnyRobinson and 13-year-old #VirgilWare.

Video and caption reposted from @nmaahc #OnThisDay in 1963, a bomb planted by the Ku Klux Klan ripped through the 16th Street Baptist Church, in Birmingham, Alabama, killing 4 little girls—11-year-old Carol Denise McNair, and 14-year-olds Carole Robertson, Cynthia Diane Wesley and Addie Mae Collins—and injuring several others.
This atrocity marked the third bombing in 11 days in Birmingham, Alabama, following the federal court order integrating Alabama schools. Shards from the church's stained-glass window are on display in our exhibition "Defending Freedom, Defining Freedom: The Era of Segregation" as a reminder of this tragic incident.
Racially motivated attacks on Black people, their homes and their churches grew so common that the city was referred to as “Bombingham.” African American civil rights activists made Birmingham a focal point of their desegregation campaign.

Let us remember the tragic taking of young American lives; there's been plenty of hate filled crimes in America, but few actual received national sympathy and a true understanding of the level of hate America holds for it's own citizens. #AddieMaeCollins #CynthiaWesley #CaroleRobertson #CarolDeniseMcNair 16th Street Baptist Church bombing September 15, 1963 #NeverForget #4LittleGirls #InnocenceLost #America #VS #Americans #JimCrow #Amerikkka #Remember #Don't #Repeat (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLa4BmBRpe/?igshid=p8ch9s7mi8c5

Probably my most anticipated movie of the summer- even before the pandemic turned it upside down- is available on Friday in @officialspikelee’s #da5bloods on #netflix. Lee is a filmmaker whom has been a bit of a challenge for me at times to get into, but I would imagine that’s exactly how he likes it. The films of his I like most I adore, and they don’t take the easy way to their themes and ideas. I cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next in two days. #spikelee #dotherightthingmovie #malcolmxmovie #getonthebus #4littlegirls #blackklansman #spikeleejoint https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRak4CJ8k3/?igshid=190lfwwv2qk3i

On Sunday, September 15, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, was bombed by four members of a Ku Klux Klan-affiliated racist group. Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley, four African-American girls between the ages of 11 and 14 who had been attending the church's Sunday school, were killed in the blast. 🙏🏾🕊😇😇😇😇 #BlackLivesMatter #4LittleGirls #Birmingham #Alabama #Amerikkka #AmericanHistory #KnowYourHistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKlZ37BXtd/?igshid=do2wvv2i1u6c

Those that know me know that I am obsessed with the narratives of women from the Civil Rights Movement particularly from the deep south region. Awhile back, the family of Addie Mae Collins wanted to move her body to another cemetery. When her casket was exhumed, her body was missing. Why didn't this make national news? And where is the body of Addie Mae Collins? #birminghamalabama #addiemaecollins #civilrightsmovement #4littlegirls #womenofthecivilrightsmovement https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cw8qhjI6F/?igshid=1x7okk4n08ze1

As we remember the loss of the 4 Little Girls today, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fifth little girl my friend, Sarah Collins Rudolph, the sister of Addie Mae Collins who survived the bombing. Mrs. Collins Rudolph was in the bathroom with Addie Mae when the bomb exploded in the 16th Street Baptist Church. She lost her right eye and was hospitalized for two months after the bombing forcing her to miss her sister's funeral. I ask that everyone please remember this historic day and lift Mrs. Collins Rudolph and the families of the victims in prayer. #16thstreetBaptistchurch #4littlegirls #alabama #survivor #the5thlittlegirl #civilrightshero https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ci2VIlMH8/?igshid=5jne7ia2ew3d
