Hannah Price-Assignment 7

On September 15, 1963 was the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Alabama, which was a significant location for civil rights. The bomb was set on Sunday at the church by the Klu Klux Klan. Four black schoolgirls were killed as a result of this bombing. September 15 marks a significant date in history because it showed all the senseless cruelty Black people underwent at this time. It showed white people how serious discrimination was getting on their part that 4 innocent girls were killed. This event shows to me how evil and inhumane people can be sometimes. This also reminded me of a similar event that took place recently. June 17 of this year there was Charleston church shooting carried out by a young man named Dylann Roof. This shooting was at another significant historical black civil rights site. This showed that racism and discrimination is still alive today like is was in September 15, 1963. Although I loathe that this event even took place, I do think it is an important part of American and Black History.
