In memory of the bombing….
They were found together. Two were so close their limbs touched. Sunday dresses tattered. Bodies shattered. Lives taken by killers for whom they didn’t matter. They did and they do. Never forget Denise, Carole, Cynthia, Addie Mae. Our Four Little Girls. Lost 56 years ago today. pic.twitter.com/rwlelmxbsa
