September 15th, 1963...Dear Diary; Black Historical Fiction

This story is told from the perspective of Carmen Jones, a friend of the survivor, Sarah Collins Rudolph. It tells the story of what happened on the early morning of September 15th 1963 while everyone was getting ready for their performance at the 16th street Baptist Church, a member of the K.K.K planted a bomb under the stairs to the church's basement. Moments later, the bomb would explode, killing the four girls Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley, Addie Mae Collins, and Denise McNair in the fatal explosion. Sarah was the only survivor who lost an eye after glass shards and debris hurled to her eyes. Carmen was the only girl who wasn't there at the time of the bombing as she was known for being late, she arrived at the scene 30 minutes after the attack to see what had happened. *WARNING* Please note that this is a Historical fiction story, the church bombing was true and did happen and this story should be read with respect for the victims of this tragedy also Carmen is a fictional person and was created to reflect on the events of black history and to tell the story through someone else's perspective. Thank you and happy Black History Month
