| Comments |
| "The film about the church bombing made
you want to find the people who did this and ask them why
they could do such a thing." -Jessica Browne |
| "A few blocks away was the Sixteenth
Street Baptist Church, I was just getting used the ways
history seems to have arranged itself around areas... Acts
of hate do not recognize time limits." -Kate Fiorucci |
| "The sculpture in the park reminded me
of how courageous the people in the movement were... Our
next stop was the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church... We
sat in the Church the same day that less than a mile away
the jury was selected for the court case against a second
man accused in the bombing. It seemed that everywhere we
went we were presented with evidence of a continuing fight
for civil rights. Even there are monuments and museums,
the fight is not over... and as we traveled through the
south, we became tangled in the continuing web of the struggle."
