16th Street Baptist Church Bombing, Narrated by Senator Doug Jones
Senator Doug Jones is a prominent attorney and public servant who became the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Alabama in 25 years and is currently the state's Democratic nominee for Governor. Jones, who prosecuted the case decades later, remembers the four young girls killed in the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, a tragedy that galvanized support for the Civil Rights Act.

I’m so glad Doug Jones is running for governor of Alabama- that’s one of the things that gives me hope!
Excellent telling of that horrendous act by the KKK! We must never forget those precious little girls who were robbed of their lives that day merely because of the color of their skin.
