House and Senate leaders posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to the victims of the 1963 16th St. Baptist Church bombing. On September 15, 1963, shortly after the March on Washington, a bomb placed by segregationists exploded in Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church claiming the lives of Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley, all girls under 14 years old. The medal was presented in recognition of how their deaths became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. The Congressional Gold Medal represents Congress' highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions. close
