Until Justice Rolls Down: The Birmingham Church Bombing Case Paperback - 2005 - 2nd Edition

From the rear cover

"A lyrically moving description of the victims' last hours. . . . "Until Justice Rolls Down" is a story about intrepid prosecutors in pursuit of evidence."--Diane McWhorter, "New York Times Book Review"
One grim Sunday in September 1963 an intentionally planted cache of dynamite ripped through the walls of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church and ended the dreams and the lives of four young black girls. Frank Sikora uses court records, FBI reports, oral interviews, and newspaper accounts to weave a spellbinding account of the investigation and trials.
"Sikora captures the hatred of the Klan, the hope of the civil rights movement, the pain of the tragic bombing, and the courtroom drama that ultimately caused 'justice to roll down like water.' It is a fascinating read."--Morris Dees, Southern Poverty Law Center
""Sikora tells a sad tale well. Until Justice Rolls Down" details the frustration of the seemingly hopeless investigation. . . . Everyone interested in American history should buy this book."--Tom Wagy, "Florida Historical Quarterly
" Frank Sikora is a career journalist who retired recently from the Birmingham News. He is author of "The Judge: The Life and Opinions of Alabama's Frank M. Johnson, Jr., Let Us Now Praise Famous Women: A Memoir, " and, with Sheyann Webb and Rachel West Nelson, "Selma, Lord, Selma."
