Temple Beth El on 21st Street in Birmingham was targeted during the civil rights era due to the role some Jewish people had in supporting equal rights for black people.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - July 17 marked a day of reflection and celebration at a Birmingham synagogue.
“54 sticks of dynamite were placed in a window well right outside this building on April 28, 1958. Luckily it did not detonate, but if it had, it would’ve destroyed this building and much of the city block,” Margaret Norman with Temple Beth El said.
