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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Dane Brimner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590786130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590786130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calkins Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 10.10w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e135221 \/ Birmingham Sunday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Pictus Award - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Addams Children's Book Award - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e NAPPA Gold Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Moonbeam Children's Book Award - Silver Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010 pg. 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/16\/2010","brand":"Larry Dane Brimner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46140765405439,"sku":"9781590786130","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2e2f67e-cd2b-4650-b74f-a33adfc06178.jpg?v=1726596966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birmingham-sunday-larry-dane-brimner-9781590786130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
