This egregious act of domestic terrorism reverberated worldwide. It also sparked the passage of landmark civil rights legislation and a notable artistic response  signified by the jazz musician John Coltrane s elegiac composition  Alabama. Orchestrated by white supremacists  the blast left twelve-year-old Sarah Collins temporarily blind. For decades  she slipped into anonymity. In this intimate first-hand account  Sarah imparts her views on topics such as the 50th year commemoration  restitution  and racial terrorism. This story also delves into the bond between Sarah and her mother  Mrs. Alice Collins. In the backdrop of a national reckoning and global protests  underscored by the deadly violence at Mother Emanuel in Charleston  SC  and tragedies in Charlottesville  VA  and Pittsburgh  PA  Sarah s unflinching testimony about the 63 Birmingham church bombing is illuminating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665839317045,"sku":"ByrdShop_156902541X","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781569025413.jpg?v=1782409591","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-5th-little-girl-soul-survivor-of-the-16th-street-baptist-church-bombing-the-sarah-collins-rudolph-story-9781569025413","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
