Description
Text transcribed from caption: PC-29887 BODY REMOVED FROM BOMBED BIRMINGHAM CHURCH BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The body of one of four young Negro girls killed in the bombing of 16th Street Baptist church in Birmingham, Ala., is removed from the shattered basement. The youngsters, one 11 and three 14 years old, were studying their Sunday school lesson on the subject, “The Love That Forgives,” when explosions ripped through the church. A rope-barricade and armed troopers held a gathering crowd away from the blast area. Outraged Negroes ultimately heeded pleas by the pastor of the church, the Rev. John Cross, to disperse. From across the nation, religious leaders urged action to prevent further violence in racially-tense Birmingham. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-9C-63-NBM)
