	ADAH: Alabama Moments (Bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church--Details)
		The church had been the center of civil rights demonstrations that April and May. But that fact was not likely on the minds of most church members that morning, especially not the four girls who were to be part of the Youth Day's activities.
		Suddenly a tremendous blast "shook the entire church and showered the classrooms with plaster." The four girls lay dead, buried beneath mounds of debris and mortar, and twenty-one others lay injured.
		Most African Americans were overpowered by the bombing's essential meaning: that despite the success of recent demonstrations in their community, they still faced an extremist element in their midst which was committed to carrying out any evil to maintain racial subjugation.
