"What you may not know is that there was a lone survivor of the 16th Street bombing, Sarah Collins Rudolph. She is the younger sister of bombing victim Addie Mae Collins. Rudolph lost an eye in the attack and stood in shock, broken and bleeding after the bomb went off. She was whisked to the nearest hospital. After the attack, then twelve-year old Rudolph was told to put the experience behind her. The “fifth little girl” has not been a part of the decades of conversation surrounding the incident.
She is still haunted by medical expenses related to September 15, 1953. Unfortunately, she and her husband have been bogged down with existing medical bills that have denied by the Birmingham City Council."
