| The four girls killed during a 1963 church bombing in Birmingham, AL. |
I learned today that lawmakers are planning to consider giving a Congressional Medal of Honor to Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins and Cynthia Wesley, four girls whose
tragic deaths in 1963 were among several events that put the city of Birmingham, Alabama, on the map of an international public's imagination. A photo of the girls is presented above. Below it is an unrelated photo demonstrating how Birmingham children were an important part of the era generally known as the Civil Rights Movement. For more about the Congressional Medal honor, see
this story.
