The Weight of a Legacy: Remembering 16th Street Baptist The bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963, was a pivotal moment in American history.
On its 63rd anniversary, hundreds gathered at the church to commemorate the lives lost and the nation's failure to learn from its past.
Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, delivered an impassioned speech during the memorial service, highlighting the alarming trend of elected officials attempting to erase painful memories from museums and national parks.
