Angela grew up in Birmingham when it was called Bombingham. This was due to the fact the Ku Klux Klan conducted a campaign of terror on Black people and frequently firebombed people’s homes. The gravity of that of that terrorism has not been fully appreciated or understood. Leading up to the 16th street church bombings, there are estimates that close to 80 bombs were set off in Birmingham. - See more at: http://portside.org/2013-09-15/angela-davis-looks-back-16th-street-church-bombings-50-years-ago#sthash.qedeXmMz.dpuf
