Title: Bombed Negro church reopens.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31127 BOMBED NEGRO CHURCH REOPENS BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-Worshippers move silently with their children as they enter the 16th Street Baptist church at Birmingham for the first time since the Negro congregation’s building was bombed Sept. 15, 1963, killing four Sunday school children. As the church held its first service since that tragedy, the sermon was given by a white minister, Dr. H. O. Hester of Montgomery, secretary of the Alabama Baptist Convention’s Department of Missions. Celebrant of the “Reentry Service” was the Rev. John H. Cross, pastor of the church and longtime friend of Dr. Hester. Some worshippers wept as they walked past the church’s glass-enclosed bulletin board which still bore the date of the bombing. Parents of the four girls killed by the explosion of the church’s basement were among the congregation attending the service. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-6B-64-NAB)
