Reverend Shuttlesworth had a wife, Ruby, and four children, all present when his house was bombed, all emerging unscathed. Their first child, Patricia, was born in 1943. The Shuttlesworth's had three more children, Ruby Fredericks in 1945, Fred Jr in 1947, and Carolyn in 1949.

When Dr. Shuttlesworth took his kids to enroll them in Phillips, they were all attacked and beaten. His wife was stabbed. The doctor's at the hospital marveled that their beating did not leave them with internal injuries. Fred Shuttlesworth continued the idea that God walked with him to lead this movement of direct action, Gandhi-ism, in Birmingham, while supporting Dr. King in Montgomery.
