Introduction

The site of the most horrific occurrence of the American Civil Rights Movement (a bomb shattered the quiet of a Sunday morning and took the lives of four young girls), the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church is a landmark to both man's inhumanity and capacity for love and forgiveness. The congregation is vibrant and the sanctuary quite beautiful with its stained-glass window, a gift from the people of Wales.
