The 16th St. Baptist Church bombing (9.15.1963) in Birmingham, AL, occurred just a few months after the assassination of Medgar Evers. We must never forget Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Carol Denise McNair. #16thSt #NeverForget #4LittleGirls #medgarevers

After hearing about the bombing, Nina Simone said: "At first, I tried to make myself a gun. I was going to take one of them out, and I didn't care who it was...Then Andy, my husband at the time, said to me, 'Nina, you can't kill anyone. You are a musician. Do what you do.'" #NinaSimone #wokesongs
