"Fifty-five years ago today, white supremacists took the lives Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Carol Denise McNair in a bombing at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL."
"Today, let us not only honor the lives and memories of the four taken from the world too soon, but also recommit ourselves to combating the forces of hatred in this country and continue to strive for equal justice and opportunity for all."
"I'm honored to join the @FaithNPolitics Annual Civil Rights Movement Pilgrimage each year, which provides the opportunity to visit 16th St. Baptist Church and pay tribute to their memory."
