50 years later, recognize the fifth little girl in the Birmingham bombing -- Sarah Collins Rudolph.

Created by K.M. on September 21, 2013

Sarah Collins Rudolph was the fifth little girl in the restroom at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1963, when her sister and three other young girls were killed in a bomb set by the KKK. While the four girls who died have never been forgotten and were recently honored as national heroes, Sarah has been forgotten. She lost an eye, a sister, and suffered lifelong disabilities from the bombing. Today, at the age of 62, she works as a maid. She should be honored, she should be given the means to live the rest of her life free of want and suffering, and be according the dignity and respect she deserves, at long last.
