It was terror that shook the nation. On Sunday, Sept. 15, 1963, a bomb exploded in the basement of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. Four little girls, all dressed in white — 14-year-olds Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley, and 11-year-old Denise McNair — died in the explosion, and are remembered in history.
Congress now is considering offering them posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal.
But there was a fifth little girl caught in the blast — 10-year-old Sarah Collins Rudolph — the younger sister of Addie Mae. Partly blinded, she staggered from the basement bleeding from the nose and ears from a concussion. She spent two months in the hospital, but she survived. To this day, she bears her injuries, and the traumatic stress that does not go away. She doesn't want a medal; she wants justice.
Now she is speaking out, witness to that horrible crime in those mean days. She's angry because her sister's body has been lost. When they went to exhume the body, the grave contained someone else's remains. She wonders why there was no compensation for her injuries, no help for the families.
The Birmingham bombing came days after a court order calling for three schools in Huntsville to open for limited integration had been defied by Gov. George Wallace, who called out the National Guard to bar the students. It came less than three weeks after the March on Washington and Dr. King's "I have a dream" oration. Veterans of the civil rights movement were girding themselves for the reprisals that seemed to follow any sign of progress.
Dr. King suggested that some had misinterpreted the dignified and disciplined march on Washington — now so seared in our memories — and thought the revolution was over. No, he told the Southern Conference Leadership Convention in September, "We are more determined than ever before that nonviolence is the way. Let them bring on their bombs. Let them sabotage us with the evil of cooperation with segregation. We intend to be free."
Sarah Collins Rudolph did not choose to be a hero. Her life was scarred by an act of terror unleashed against the most innocent of little girls.
As Barbara Arnwine, head of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, commented, Rudolph has been overlooked because the basic story has not been told. So much of what we remember about the civil rights movement are the victories, the great moments. Too often, Arnwine argues, "we whitewash the history" and shove the victims into a closet to keep them from reminding us of the reality.
Juries eventually convicted three Ku Klux Klansmen in the bombing years later, and one suspected accomplice died without ever having been charged. One of the four is still in prison and the others are dead.
Now Sarah Collins Rudolph has had the courage to stand up and tell her tale. She wants Congress to recognize that lives were lost and scarred, in part because of the failure of the federal government to enforce the laws of the land, and to protect those who were asserting their rights in the face of domestic terrorism.
Congress must act now beyond the symbol of medals to the substance of justice and compensation. The victims of Sept. 16, 1963, and the victims of Sept. 11, 2001, are justly due reparations. Sarah Collins Rudolph is in the lineage of those to whom our nation is in debt.

Degrees of Incarceration Saturday April 20, 6:30 PM
at Al-Awda Center, 2720 Loker Avenue West Suite J, Carlsbad CA 92010
The film "Degrees of Incarceration" documents the effect political imprisonment has on a community of Palestinians in Aida Refugee Camp in the West Bank. Since 1967, more than 700,000 West Bank Palestinians have passed though the prisons of this Israeli occupation. The film introduces viewers to Palestinian mothers, teenagers, children, and community leaders as they strive to support each other through crises of arrest and detention, and how they prepare for this. This very moving film demonstrates that Palestinians continue to struggle against the subjugation of their human spirit, and challenges the veracity of portrayals of Palestinians as despairing people.
This second screening is especially for the benefit of people who were not able to come see the film on March 30 (due to the Easter Holiday or other commitments). Come watch and be moved to act with us.
This event is free and open to all. Our center is wheel-chair accessible.

But have we made a difference in the local picture? Is the media reporting what is really going on? Are we reaching the tipping points? How do we build a movement for social & environmental justice?
Environmental activist say there is hope at all levels.
