Tribute to 4 Little Girls and the 1963 Birmingham 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing

Today marks the day of the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing in Birmingham Alabama. The bombing took place on September 15, 1963. The 4 little girls who’s names have become well known from this incident were: Addie Mae Collins, 14; Denise McNair, 11; Carole Robertson, 14; and Cynthia Wesley; 14. This was a very tragic day in our history. The 4 girls were posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by Congress on the 50th Anniversary of the event last year.
