On Sunday, September 15, 1963, at the 16th Street Baptist Church, it was youth Sunday and all the kids were ready to share the word of God that day. Among those kids were Addie Mae Collins(14yrs), Carol Denise McNair(11yrs), Carole Rosamond Robertson(14yrs), Cynthia Dionne Wesley(14yrs), and Sarah Collins(12yrs). Sense it was youth Sunday they all had to wear white and look good, It was the day Carole got to wear her new pear of heels.

These four little girls lost their lives and Sarah who was seriously injured were more closer to the dynamites that Robert Chambliss, Thomas Blanton, Herman Frank Cash, and Bobby Frank Cherry(KKK members) planted under the church. They were primping before service started in the basement restroom.

At 10:22 am the bomb went off and many of the youth that day were injured. Eight-year-old Condoleezza Rice heard the explosion from two miles away at the Presbyterian church pastored by her father. The stained-glass window of the Good Shepherd survived intact, except for the face of Jesus, which was blown out.

This day was so sad and important. This day they were supposed to preach about forgiveness. They were going talk about the bible verse Luke 23:24 "Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." One important thing to Christians like me is to forgive no matter what even it is hard we still have to forgive. These parents that saw there children hurting in pain had to go threw many hardships because of the KKK but at the end of the day for them they had to forgive.

The bombing made the youth and all black families were afraid to go church so they protested because church is supposed to feel like a safe place to all people not a place that can make you get hurt.
