birmingham, alabama was a turning point in the civil rights movement, that's why i am here. 1963, what'ses of marches, boycotts, sit ins. the demonstrators met by police dogs, fire hoses. deeply disturbing images became key to help the end of the struggle for freedom, prompting john f. kennedy to confront the issue directly. >> 100 years have passed since president lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, grandsons, are not fully free, not yet free from bonds of injustice, not yet freed from social and economic oppression. the events in birmingham and elsewhere have so increased, the cries for equality, that no city or state or legislative body can prudently choose to ignore them. >> with that, president kennedy set in motion the civil rights act, signed into law by lind on johnson a year later. while birmingham was central to the civil rights movement, it was not the beginning. five years earlier, one of the first series of lunch counter sit ins was organized and led by students in wichita, kansas. this peaceful protest ended in victory as the drugstore where the sit ins started with

on the 15th of september 1963, the baptist church on 16th street in birmingham, alabama, was packed andhen a bomb went off and four young girls were killed. sarah rudolph collins survived but her sister, addie mae, didn't. why would somebody put a bomb on our church and kill a little girl, all of them were angels. first, it was just addie. she was standing across from me at the couch, and that's when cynthia, denise and carole came in the door and that's when the bomb went off. boom! it was the loudest sound i ever heard and it scared me so bad i called out, jesus. i felt a stinging all over my body. glass came and hit my body, several pieces went in my eye. now that the little girls are buried in the soil of this sick city, it may be that the last real hope of achieving freedom in the land of the free has been buried with them. but it isjust a possibility that the bomb has blasted into white birmingham's conscience and that it could mean the end of the worst evils of segregation. they brought peace to a very evil town. their life was sacrificed for peace. when those girls died they had
