After reading the first 61 pages of March Book Three I came to the conclusion that the prompt on Write-It.org was certainly correct.  The book opens immediately with chaos violence and death during the Civil Rights movement. Overall in these pages we hear about the bombing on 16th street baptist church which killed four little girls and injured dozens more. This is honestly such a sad thing to be relearning, I heard about this a few times in my life, but now that Im a bit older I am able to take my own stance on the subject. I believe this was a selfish act of terrorism against your own country’s people. But of course black people were not seen as people back then but as animals or beasts, they were discriminated against. At that time the event was covered on the news radio by audio. If this were to happen today it would be on live television or even streaming on different media platforms. I’m sure this wasn’t the first bombing targeted towards black people it was likely just the first one recorded. Racially motivated bombings have been taking place for decades. You could even compare this situation to modern day bombings in third world countries. In the first few pages they decide to travel to Birmingham but unfortunately one of them was shot and killed by white men while traveling. This is a sign of pure hatred. Those men had no valid reason to kill that black man. You can never really know if his life was worth it though, but maybe it was considering we are all free people now. If I were to put myself in the shoes of a character I would choose the man who told the men to travel down to Birmingham. I wonder if he feels a sense of guilt considering he didn’t make it there alive. #4livestakentoosoon #civilrightsmovement
