The Riddle
The Ironveil has wounds that don't fade with time — they harden into memorial and stay. This church was bombed on a Sunday morning in September 1963 and four girls never came home from Sunday school. Find the memorial outside that carries their names. What was the age of the youngest of the four girls who died here?
🕯️ The four girls were Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson — all age 14 — and one who was younger than the others. Her age is listed on the memorial. She was the youngest victim of the 1963 bombing.
The Ironveil carries wounds that haven't fully healed — places where the fire was turned on the wrong people, where history left marks too deep to pave over. Kelly Ingram Park holds the truth in bronze so no one can claim it didn't happen. Find the sculpture of young people standing against the force of water hoses. Count only the child figures in this specific sculpture. How many children face the water?
🕯️ The sculpture shows 1963 Birmingham — young civil rights protesters against fire hoses. Count specifically the bronze figures of the children — not the officers, not the equipment — just the young people standing against the force.
