Explanation:
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. The church also served as a meeting place for civil rights leaders. This violent incident helped draw national attention to the fight for civil rights for African Americans and served as a turning point, contributing to support for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
