Remembering the four young girls killed on Sept 15 1963 when white supremacists tossed dynamite into the Sixteenth St Baptist Church in Birmingham, following an intense summer of protests vs segregation—facing dogs and fire hoses—in what was called the Johannesburg of the South.

“Your children did not live long, but they lived well. The quantity of their lives was disturbingly small, but the quality of their lives was magnificently big. They died within the sacred walls of the church after discussing a principle as eternal as love.”—Martin Luther King

The 50’s & 60’s were turbulent times for people of color. Here we are in 2019 and racism & hate have once again raised their ugly heads. We cannot allow these little girls deaths to go in vain. We must stand together and stamp out racism & hate. They have no place in any society!
