On that Sunday morning, however, a blast in the 16th Street Baptist Church ripped through the exterior wall and claimed the lives of four girls. The church was the ideal target for segregationists, as it was the rallying place for Birmingham's African American community, Martin Luther King, Jr., using it as his \"headquarters\" when he was in town to further the cause of desegregation and equal rights. Rather than triggering paralyzing fear, the bombing was the definitive act that guaranteed passage of the landmark 1964 civil rights legislation.","brand":"Astra Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":58150947357059,"sku":"9781590786130","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781590786130.jpg?v=1780062622","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/birmingham-sunday-9781590786130","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
