The Church Bombing




In the Watsons go to Birmingham by Chrictopher Paul Curtis, the family goes to Birmingham, Alabama because of Byron's bad behavior in Flint,Michigan 1963. While the family is in Birmingham, Joetta goes to a sunday school in a all black people church. Kenny is laying outside by the tree when he hears a loud boom. Everyone was running, the Watsons all went to the Church Joetta was in. They found out later that Joetta was alive, but it was because of Kenny that she survived.She claimed that she saw Kenny, so she ran after him.But really, Kenny was confused, because she really didnt chase after him. Instead,what he saw was the Wool Pooh taking her away.The police said that 2 white men blew up the church.There was an accident, 4 little girls died during the bombing.Christopher Paul Curtis dedicated this book to the 4 girls.
