Tonya Lewis Lee Instagram – Remembering a Historic Day: 60th Anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing
Today, on 9/15, we solemnly mark the 60th anniversary of the tragic 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, AL. ππ½
In honor of the four beautiful souls who lost their lives on that fateful day – Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, & Carole Robertson – we reflect on their enduring legacy.
I had the incredible privilege of bringing the powerful story to life by writing the screenplay and producing the film, “The Watsons Go To Birmingham.” π₯ This heartwarming adaptation of the renowned juvenile fiction novel by @christopherpaulcurtis, which earned Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Honor awards, has left an indelible mark on hearts worldwide.
The film, co-produced by the talented @Nikkissilver and masterfully directed by @iamkennyleon for the @HallmarkChannel, proudly stands among the top 10 Hallmark films of all time by @moviewebπ
Discover the world of “The Watsons Go To Birmingham” through the book and film, available on @amazon (links in bio). π These captivating narratives offer families an exceptional opportunity to delve into American history and foster meaningful discussions. πΊπΈ
Don’t miss out on the chance to explore @officialspikelee’s compelling documentary, “4 Little Girls,” available on Amazon as well (link in bio). π¬
Let’s keep the memory of these remarkable individuals alive and continue the dialogue about our shared history. π£οΈ #16thStreetBaptistChurch #NeverForget #AmericanHistory | Posted on 15/Sep/2023 22:32:16
