Fourteen-year-old Carolyn Maull was just a few feet away when the bomb exploded, killing four of her friends in the girl's rest room 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.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C146359</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C146359</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McKinstry, Carolyn Maull]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/146359161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Birmingham Bombing Survivor Comes of Age During the Civil Rights Movement</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9781414336367&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carry Me Home]]></title><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C908379</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C908379</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McWhorter, Diane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2001 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/908379161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Birmingham, Alabama : the Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780684807478&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[You Have to Be Prepared to Die Before You Can Begin to Live]]></title><description><![CDATA[It's one of the iconic photographs of American history: A Black teenager, a policeman and his lunging German Shepherd. Birmingham, Alabama, May of 1963. In May of 2020, as reporter Paul Kix stared at a different photo-that of a Minneapolis police officer suffocating George Floyd-he kept returning to the other photo taken half a century earlier, haunted by its echoes. What, Kix wondered, was the full legacy of the Birmingham photo? And of the campaign it stemmed from? In You Have To Be Prepared To Die Before You Can Begin To Live, Paul Kix takes the reader behind the scenes as he tells the story of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's pivotal 10 week campaign in 1963 to end segregation in Birmingham, Alabama. At the same time, he also provides a window into the minds of the four extraordinary men who led the campaign--Martin Luther King, Jr., Wyatt Walker, Fred Shuttlesworth, and James Bevel. With page-turning prose that read like a thriller, Kix's book is the first to zero in on the ten weeks of Project C, as it was known--its specific history and its echoes sounding throughout our culture now. It's about Where It All Began, for sure, but it's also the key to understanding Where We Are Now and Where We Will Be. As the fight for equality continues on many fronts, Project C is crucial to our understanding of our own time and the impact that strategic activism can have.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1728833</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1728833</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kix, Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1728833161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Ten Weeks in Birmingham That Changed America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9781250807694&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Letter From Birmingham Jail]]></title><description><![CDATA["April 16th. The year is 1963. Birmingham, Alabama has had a spring of non-violent protests known as the Birmingham Campaign, seeking to draw attention to the segregation against blacks by the city government and downtown retailers. The organizers longed to create a non-violent tension so severe that the powers that be would be forced to address the rampant racism head on. Recently arrested was Martin Luther King, Jr. It is there in that jail cell that he writes this letter; on the margins of a newspaper he pens this defense of non-violence against segregation. His accusers, though many, in this case were not the white racist leaders or retailers he protested against, but 8 black men who saw him as 'other' and as too extreme. To them and to the world he defended the notion that 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere'"--Container.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C277003</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C277003</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[King, Martin Luther]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/277003161</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>Martin Luther King Jr&apos;s Letter From Birmingham Jail and the Struggle That Changed A Nation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9781610457484&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gospel of Freedom]]></title><description><![CDATA[Jonathan Rieder delves deeper than anyone before into the King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" --illuminating both its timeless message and its crucial position in the history of civil rights.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C239569</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C239569</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rieder, Jonathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/239569161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Martin Luther King, Jr.&apos;s Letter From Birmingham Jail and the Struggle That Changed A Nation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9781620400586&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gentle Giant of Dynamite Hill]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the perspective of his daughters, chronicles the life of the civil rights attorney who, with his family, came under attack by the KKK in the 1960s for representing desegregation cases, the NAACP, and Martin Luther King, Jr.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C245969</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C245969</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lee, Helen Shores]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/245969161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Untold Story of Arthur Shores and His Family&apos;s Fight for Civil Rights</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780310336204&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carry Me Home]]></title><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1227236</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1227236</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McWhorter, Diane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1227236161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Birmingham, Alabama : the Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780743217729&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessed Are the Peacemakers]]></title><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C907695</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C907695</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bass, S.
