I’m very fortunate that I came across this amazing book yet very sad that this ever happened. It is a part of the American history that is always being hidden. Racism and terrorism have no religion and no color. This book tells the story of the coward church bombing in Birmingham Alabama in 1963. The story is being told from a fictional point of view. I will definitely encourage any teacher to teach this book during a social study class and ELA class. This book would be a great inclusion in a lesson about the Civil Rights movement. Not only does it shows the cruelties the African-American community had to face, it showed specifically the church bombing that occurred when nineteen sticks of dynamite were planted under the church's steps. It is a very informative book when looking into the Civil Rights movement, and the atrocities that were done against this community of people. Such a beautiful, yet heart breaking book. I would definitely use this book in a classroom to teach the significance and despair that came along with the civil rights movement. Especially because this is often a hard topic to explain--it is sometimes difficult to have students empathize or picture themselves in this time, it is also hard for them to understand how many innocent lives and futures were stolen as a result of pointless hate. The poems at the end of the text of the little girls that were killed in the Birmingham bombings communicate that topic beautifully. They show what the girls could have done, what they wanted to do, and how innocent they truly were. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
