Most people have heard about the four little Black girls who were killed by white supremacists in the 1963 church bombing, in Birmingham, Alabama.  In fact, there were actually five little girls in the church bathroom on that fateful Sunday morning.  Sarah Collins Rudolph was that “fifth little girl.” Then 12, she was with her sister and three other friends, when the bomb went off at 16th Street Baptist Church.

Her sister, Addie Mae Collins, died, along with Carol McNair, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley. Wesley was 11; the other girls were 14. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called it, "one of the most vicious and tragic crimes ever perpetrated against humanity."
