Shot by police and killed in racially motivated violence, their stories have long been overshadowed by the four girls who died in the church explosion. Now, educators, activists, and families are pushing to include their names in history lessons and public memorials. A memorial bike ride, lectures, and a proposed sculpture aim to honor their lives and expand our understanding of Birmingham’s darkest chapter. Remembering all the victims means remembering the full truth of that era’s brutality. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
