Well, it started when 5 little black girls were in the 16th Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15,1963. It was 10:22am when the church was bombed by the KKK. A white surpremisist threw a bomb into on window of the 16th Baptist church and minutes later, a bomb went of killing 4 little girls and injuring 23 others. Only one girl out of the 5 survived. Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley, and Sarah Collins were in the bathroom freshining up before sunday school. Addie Mae asked Carole to tie the sash on her dress, Carole stood there with her hands out ready to tie the sash, then the expolsives went off. Sarah called out for her sister, no response. By then, People had gathered around and many in shock. a man ran up and grabbed Sarah and took her out of the rubble. Sarah had to be transported to the hospital where she was blinded by the glass shards and debris in her eyes. Sarah Collins was the only one out of the 5 girls who survived the KKK bombing. Today, Sarah is known as, "The 5th Girl" and still lives in Birmingham, Alabama. It wasnt until 15-20 years later that the person was caught and arrested. The 16th Baptist church still stands today, remodeled, but blocked off to visitors.

How many people took part in the civil rights movement?
There were many deaths that were a direct result of the Civil Rights Movement...and a tragic murders that raised awareness of the atrocities in the south, resulting in more support for the movement. The Murder of Emmitt Till shed light on the horrors of the Jim Crow south. His death sparked the Movement. The four little girls: Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertsion and Cynthia Welsley were not involved in the Movement; neither was Virgil Lamar Ware, a 13 year old boy who was killed the same day by the people involved in the bombing of the 16th st Baptist church. Although they were not involved in the movement, their deaths were a direct result of it. Besides those 6, I can think of at least another 35 other deaths directly related to the Civil Rights Movement, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Some of the victims were directly involved, others just random killings by segregationists who were trying to intimidate the activists.
