1. I knew about segregation in general during that time period such as the separate fountains and classes and that type of segregation. I also new about the church bombing and about the 4 little girls who died because of it, and I knew of the freedom riders.
2. I learned about more protests that occurred around Birmingham including the main one that involved the 16th baptist church and the park across from it. I learned about the thousands of people who arrested themselves for the cause in those few days and the backlash they fought through from the police force and firefighters.
3. Something that stood out was the case that held the items that belonged to the 11 year old girl who died in the church bombing. It showed her necklace, bible, purse, and other normal belongings with her that day. It also showed the brick that killed her and was embedded in her head which gives you a sense of the brutality of her death.
