On September 15, 1963, less than three weeks after King delivered his "I Have a Dream" during the March on Washington, members of the Ku Klux Klan bombed the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, during Sunday morning services. The blast killed four young girls — Addie Mae Collins (14), Cynthia Wesley (14), Carole Robertson (14), and Denise McNair (11) — and wounded many more. The bombing took place in the wake of the civil rights movement’s Birmingham campaign, which, via the new medium of television, exposed much of America to the vicious racism of the Jim Crow South and the Birmingham police in particular. Three days after the bombing, King delivered this eulogy at the funeral service for three of the children. (A separate service was held for Carole Robertson). The text is from the remarkable King Papers Project at Stanford University, where you can also listen to the audio of King’s speech.
