and 22 more were injured
In Birmingham, Alabama ... on this day in 1963, at about 10:25 a.m., when 26 children were walking into the basement assembly room for closing prayers after a sermon bombs exploded. Four girls were murdered. And 22 other people were injured.
I was 14 years old. I mourned them and prayed for them ... and I still do.
I invite you to watch Spike Lee's 4 Little Girls. It's a really good documentary about this subject.
