Unifying America: Dallas Holocaust & Human Rights Museum Refreshes Exhibit As Threat Of White Supremacist Violence Increases Syndicated Local – CBS Dallas / Fort Worth
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) A recent federal report outlining the rising threat of violent white supremacists has prompted the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum to refresh its exhibit of “The Fight for Civil Rights in the South.”
The Museum is featuring the deadly bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
The KKK planted sticks of dynamite outside the basement and they exploded at 10:22 Sunday morning, September 15, 1963.
Dale Long, who was 11 years old at the time, was in the church with his nine year old brother Kenneth. “I was in the basement of the church. I noticed that some were bleeding, many were crying. So many people, and it dawned on me, once I smelled the pungent odor of gun powder, I realized the church had been bombed with people inside.”
