the infamous ku klux klan bombing of the 16th street baptist church that would take the lives of fouro to birmingham, 1963, by christopher paul curtis. this beloved children's classic has received numerous awards, including the newbery and coretta scott king honor. the book is an exploration of a familial love of historical racism, the power of friendship, morality, i'm sorry, mortality, injustice, and the need for generosity and kindness. what the book does so masterfully is it examines both the mechanisms of the civil rights era violence and the feelings surrounding racism, how unfair it is, how unjust, and how inescapable. although the church bombing is central to the plot of the watsons go to birmingham, it isn't a sad or dark book about a tragedy. it's actually a joyful celebration of a beautiful black family that happens to encounter a very grim moment. and that's by design. the watsons go to birmingham uses juxtaposition to make its point. kenny's proclivity for generosity and compassion set against the trauma and the vulnerability that he faces in birmingham. the watson family
