by Lavon Stennis-Williams (Author), Sarah Collins Rudolph (With), George C. Rudolph (With)
The 16th Street Baptist Church will always be known for a horrific act of evil that took place inside. What was known by the community as a place to gather and celebrate life, births, weddings, and other family gatherings evolved into something more. Citizens met to discuss the news of the day, to make plans for their local neighborhoods and to talk about ways to make their community better.
Some people in the community saw this activity as a threat and carried out an unimaginable assault on innocent families and children. Four young girls were killed in the bombing that day, and a fifth child survived. Her name is Sarah Collins Rudolph. This is her story.
This book details what the families experienced, and the challenges they faced along the way. It is written for teen readers and adults alike, with illustrations to help visualize their journey.
"Beautifully illustrated and creatively told."
