Description
The 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, US is a baptist church and the site of a racially motivated bombing that killed four young girls during the Civil Rights Movement. This bombing led to more widespread support for civil rights for black people from neighbouring white families, and the following year, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law. The church still operates today. It became a National Historic Landmark in 2006, and is on a short list for a World Heritage Site. In 2017, the church became part of the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument.
