In 1963, someone killed four little girls in a racially-motivated bomb attack. Who were they, and what events led to that tragic day? Black and white photos, thorough research, and a moving narrative provide context for this chronological account of a horrific event.
This dispassionate, well-researched history filled with powerful archival images and individual stories from the members as well as the victims of this terrifying group offers invaluable insight into human nature. Appended material including a bibliography, source notes, and time line underscore the author's meticulous scholarship.
