The boom of the bittern resounds all day, and above it the rasping scream of the blue heron, as he strikes terror to the hearts

of frogdom; while the occasional cries of a lost loon, strayed from its flock in northern migration, fill the swamp with sounds of wailing.

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was an act of white supremacist terrorism that occurred on September 15, 1963, in Birmingham, Alabama. Before Sunday morning services at the 16th Street Baptist Church, a church visited by mostly black churchgoers, a bomb went off, killing <u>four</u> young girls were killed and injuring 22 others.
