In case you didn't realize, this past weekend we observed Juneteenth. I also happened to visit the Academy Museum here in Los Angeles where there was an entire room dedicated to Spike Lee. Inside that room I froze because right on the wall in front of me was the poster and an award for his documentary "4 Little Girls." It immediately took me back to my research for this episode on the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. In honor of those girls, Spike Lee's museum exhibit, and Juneteenth, I present to you our retelling of those events. Originally broadcast January 19, 2022.
