Fifty-One Years ago today (September 15, 2014) a #Terrorist Organization (Ku Klux Klan) bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham Alabama. The church was destroyed and four young girls – Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley and Addie Mae Collins- were murdered. There was a fifth young girl who was not murdered but severely injured. She is now an adult still living with PTSD. Her name is Sarah Collins Rudolph and she is Addie Mae Collins’ cousin. Last year, Democracy Now! interviewed Sarah Collins Rudolph on the 50th anniversary of this #WhiteSupremacistTerrorist attack because she has never received any compensation for the physical, mental, and emotional effects from the bombing.
Let Us NEVER FORGET that TERRORISM has been an integral part of the fiber of the United States since its founding, which began with the brutal confiscation of Indigenous land, the Genocide of Indigenous Peoples and the Enslavement of African People for centuries.
JUSTICE for Sarah Collins Rudolph!!!!
