Description

“Moonlighting in Alabama” (undated, ca 1963)
By Eddie Germano (1924 - )
11 x 15, ink and wash on board

A native Bostonian, Germano became a full-time cartoonist in 1948, at age 24, after serving in WWII. Among other positions, he worked as the editorial and sports cartoonist for the Brockton Enterprise from 1963-1990.

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was an act of white supremacist terrorism which occurred at the African American 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, on Sunday, September 15, 1963, when four members of the Ku Klux Klan planted at least 15 sticks of dynamite attached to a timing device beneath the steps located on the east side of the church. Four young girls, aged 11-14, were killed.

Although the FBI had concluded in 1965 that the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was committed by four known segregationists, no prosecutions ensued until 1977.

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing marked a turning point in the United States during the civil rights movement and contributed to support for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

I mean: 1963... well within living memory... all this stuff simply went underground and has waited for the Right Moment to re-emerge. I have known actual living people who used the term "The War of Northern Aggression" when referring to the Civil War.

Living Memory is powerful I just did a funeral for a sweet lady of 106 years old. She was born before there was income tax. a "temporary measure " to defray costs of WW1. But she told me stories of talking to Civil War vetrans in her youth
