BR - 9/16/13

50 years ago today, a bombing happened in a church that helped spark the civil rights movement. Dynamite, placed in a black church, exploded killing 4 girls. the klan members were given a very light sentence, which outraged the black community. 8,000 people came to the funeral, but there were no public officials. As years passed, heavier sentences were passed against the responsible Klan members.
