Described by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as “one of the most vicious and tragic crimes ever perpetrated against humanity,” the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., took the lives of four girls and forever changed the course of history. Within a few hours of the vicious attack, there were FBI bomb experts on the ground who started what would become a four-decade-long quest for justice. By the mid-‘90s, the FBI had secretly re-opened their investigation into the bombing. Special Agents Bill Fleming and Ben Herren, and former U.S. attorney and Senator Doug Jones, speak with former agent Kristy Kottis about their work to uncover new evidence that could finally bring justice for the four young girls killed in this unthinkable act of racial hatred.
