Field Trip to Birmingham

     Yesterday, the class of 2016 went on the annual junior class trip to Birmingham.  We visited the 16th Street Baptist Church and then we went to the civil rights museum.  The speaker at the church taught us about how four little girls under the age of 14 died while they were in the changing room in the church due to a bomb planted by a member of the Ku Klux Klan.  One girl also lost an eye during the explosion. When the cops were removing the rubble from the explosion, they found all four girls stacked on top of each other. 
     Our visit to the museum of civil right was filled with fun and excitement.  We saw the actual tank that was used to maintain order in Birmingham during big riots.  We also saw a replica of a bus that had been blown up by another member of the KKK.  Griffin, Jackson G., Drew, and I went on a quest for Milo's Burgers.  We walked around downtown for 35 minutes looking for the magical restaurant and finally, after asking a lady on the street, we found out that it closed two weeks ago.  The guys were awfully mad at me. :(
