#BLPhistory 🙏🏾 On September 15, 1963, the nation was shaken by an act of hate that claimed the lives of four innocent girls Addie Mae Collins (14), Denise McNair (11), Carole Robertson (14), and Cynthia Wesley (14) — in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama. This tragedy became a turning point in the Civil Rights Movement, sparking outrage and fueling the fight for justice and equality. Their memory lives on as a reminder of the cost of freedom and the resilience of a people who refused to be silenced. 🕊️ Today, we honor their legacy and continue the fight for a more just world. #NeverForget #CivilRights #OnThisDay #HistoryMatters #16thStreetBaptistChurch
