The church had been a meeting quarters for decades. Many groups used it for civil rights speeches and protests. Men like Chambliss kept bombong the church to discourage these meetings.
In later decades, Dr. King used the church for such demonsrations: he came up with the idea that a children's march would be an effective tool to send message of wrongful acts of white citizens of Birmingham.
Thus a childen/teenage march ensued. Chambliss, in retaliation, planted a bomb where somehow he knew the children met at church on Sunday mornings: the bathroom.

When did African American Fred shuttlesworth die?
When Fred Shuttlesworth and his wife attempted to enroll their children in a previously all-white public school in Birmingham in 1957, a mob of Klansmen attacked them, with the police nowhere to be seen. His assailants, including a man involved in the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing, also known as the Birmingham Church Bombing, named Bobby Cherry, beat him with chains and brass knuckles in the street while someone stabbed his wife. Shuttlesworth lost consciousness but was dragged to safety and driven away. In 1958 Shuttlesworth survived another attempt on his life. A church member standing guard saw a bomb and quickly moved it to the street before it went off. I know only of murder attempts.
