Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Addie Mae
Well, it started when 5 little black girls were in the 16th Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15,1963. It was 10:22am when the church was bombed by the KKK. A white surpremisist threw a bomb into on window of the 16th Baptist church and minutes later, a bomb went of killing 4 little girls and injuring 23 others. Only one girl out of the 5 survived. Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley, and Sarah Collins were in the bathroom freshining up before sunday school. Addie Mae asked Carole to tie the sash on her dress, Carole stood there with her hands out ready to tie the sash, then the expolsives went off. Sarah called out for her sister, no response. By then, People had gathered around and many in shock. a man ran up and grabbed Sarah and took her out of the rubble. Sarah had to be transported to the hospital where she was blinded by the glass shards and debris in her eyes. Sarah Collins was the only one out of the 5 girls who survived the KKK bombing. Today, Sarah is known as, "The 5th Girl" and still lives in Birmingham, Alabama. It wasnt until 15-20 years later that the person was caught and arrested. The 16th Baptist church still stands today, remodeled, but blocked off to visitors.
Mae, also spelled May, is a variant of Mary. As Mary is associated with Motherhood( in fact divine Motherhood) it is conceivable that Mae Mae might indicated ( Grandmother) but I have never heard it in this context.
Addie Mae Collins was born on April 18, 1949, in Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
In doing research on this subject, I am convinced that Addie Mae Collin's body is either under the Birmingham airport or under the Hertz Car Rental place along with about 5,000 other graves.
