Grace and Peace to my sisters Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Addie Mae Collins!
On this day in 2002 Bobby Frank Cherry was convicted of murder in the 1963 church bombing that killed the four girls listed above.
They are, along with Emmitt Till, sacrificial lambs of the Civil Rights Movement. They are forever beautiful, forever living and forever treasured.
Bobby Frank Cherry, a demolitions expert and his other three comrades - Robert Chambliss, Thomas Blanton and Herman Cash decided to uproot a thriving black church. How easily our anger consumes us and eventually turns our bodies and minds into fire! An uncontrollable rage that can eventually plague the land that surrounds us.
To my sisters be victims of Bombingham no more! To my beautiful sisters who are forever young, be forever free!
To my sisters now - carry freedom on your heads, above your eyebrows, in between your you know where's and you know how's. Carry your light with dignity and pride. Go on with your loud, big mouth! In the name of the four little girls, whose lives engulfed the world - On this day be victims no more!
