On September 15, 1963, an act of domestic terrorism in Birmingham, Alabama, became a turning point in the American Civil Rights Movement. Just before 11 a.m., 19 sticks of dynamite exploded under the steps of the 16th Street Baptist Church, killing four young girls in the basement restroom: Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley. The bombing shocked the nation and helped galvanize support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
