Description
September 15, 1963, was a day that would forever change Carolyn Maull's life. Just feet away from her in the 16th Street Baptist Church girl's restroom, a Klan-planted bomb exploded, claiming the lives of four young friends. This pivotal moment in American history marked a turning point for a young girl growing up in the Jim Crow South.
While the World Watched is a poignant and gripping eyewitness account of life during the Civil Rights movement. The book takes readers on a journey through the tumultuous years, from bombings and riots to historic marches and triumphs. A powerful exploration of how racial relations have evolved over the past five decades, this memoir offers a unique perspective on the progress made and the work still to be done.
