Description: On September 15th 1963 the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama was bombed. The blast killed four young girls and injured 22 others. The FBI suspected four, particularly radical ku Klux Klan members. Yet due to reluctant witnesses a lack of physical evidence and pervasive racial prejudice. The case was closed without any indictments. But as Martin Luther King Jr. famously said the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice. Years later, Alabama attorney general William Baxley reopened the case ultimately convicting one of the bombers in 1977. Another suspect passed away in 1994 and then you as attorney Doug Jones tried and convicted the final two in 2001 in 2002. This represented the correction of an outrageous miscarriage of Justice. Nearly 40 years in the making Jones went on to win election as Alabama's first Democratic senator since 1992 in a dramatic race against Republic Challenger Rory Moore. Bending toward Justice is a compulsively listenable account of a key moment in our long National struggle for equality and Justice related by an author who played a major role in these events.
