Birmingham, 1963
This poetic tribute remembers the victims of the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, a pivotal event in the Civil Rights Movement. Through the eyes of a fictional witness, the book captures the heartbreak of that day when four young girls were killed by a Ku Klux Klan explosion. Archival photographs and poignant free verse text offer a powerful homage to the victims and the struggle for equality.
