Remembering the History: The 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing

History - Social Studies

The 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, was an important place for the Black community and for people fighting for civil rights. On September 15, 1963, a terrible event happened when a bomb exploded at the church. This bombing took the lives of four young girls who were getting ready for Sunday school. The church was a meeting place for civil rights leaders to plan marches and peaceful protests. The sadness and anger after the bombing helped people see the need for change. It helped lead to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a law that made segregation illegal in the United States.
