The bombing of an African American Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15th, 1963, by the Klu Klux Klan.
Explanation:
On the morning of September 15th, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, was bombed. The church had an African American congregation and had been a key meeting place for demonstrators campaigning for civil rights. The bomb had been planted at the church several hours earlier by members of the Klu Klux Klan and detonated before a service, killing four girls and injuring hundreds more. The shocking attack and the resulting casualties caused many to refocus on the necessity of civil rights for all in the United States.
