An insider’s story of the Birmingham church bombing.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Reviews
This is the autobiographical account of a woman who, despite considerable danger to her life, testified against her uncle Robert Chambliss in a 1977 trial at which Chambliss was charged with the bombing of a Birmingham, Alabama, black church in 1963 and the murder of one of four girls killed in the explosion. It is as much a compelling story about Cobbs, her family, and the fear that Chambliss instilled in them as it is of Chambliss's terrorist acts in the Ku Klux Klan and of the Civil Rights struggle of the Sixties. Although choppy and repetitive, Cobbs's narrative is fascinating because of her honesty and courage; it's also riveting in its details about KKK crimes committed against black Americans. Even though her uncle was found guilty, Cobbs claims others involved in the crime were never prosecuted because of a coverup by the FBI and Alabama local officials. Adding spice to an already hot story, Cobbs relates highly unconventional changes in her personal life (becoming a Methodist pastor and undergoing a sex change). For general biography and history collections.
