September 15th 1963. It was a Sunday morning. The time was 10:22 in the morning and 5 little girls were in the basement of the 16th Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. That was the time a racially motivated terrorist attack took the lives of 4 of those little girls, and injured more than 20 others. The explosion was felt throughout the city, and continues to be felt within Sarah Collins Rudolph, also known as the 5th little girl in the basement. She survived that morning. She spoke to me about what it was like to live through the attack then and now.
