On September 15; 1963; a Klan-planted bomb went off in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham; Alabama. Fourteen-year-old Carolyn Maull was just a few feet away when the bomb exploded; killing four of her friends in the girl’s restroom she had just exited. It was one of the seminal moments in the Civil Rights movement; a sad day in American history . . . and the turning point in a young girl’s life.While the World Watched is a poignant and gripping eyewitness account of life in the Jim Crow South: from the bombings; riots; and assassinations to the historic marches and triumphs that characterized the Civil Rights movement.A uniquely moving exploration of how racial relations have evolved over the past 5 decades; While the World Watched is an incredible testament to how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go.
