On September 15, 1963 four girls lost their life at the 16th Street Baptist Church bobming. Four girls Denise McNair who was eleven, Addie Mae Collins and Carole Robertson who were fourteen, and Cynthia Wesley who was also fourteen were going to sunday school classes. Twenty six children had walked into the assembly room for closing prayer when the bomb exploded. McNair's father stated the sermon was never held because of the bombing. Some say they saw a white man getting out of a turquoise Chevrolet and placing a package under the steps of the church. a short while after ten, the bomb exploded killing the four girls and leaving twenty three of them injured. A member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), Robert Chambliss was identified as the bomber. On October 8, 1963 he was found not guilty for murder and only received a hundred dollar fine and six months in jail for the possession of dynamite. The case was rested and labeled unsolved until Bill Baxley was elected general of Alabama. In November of 1977 Chambliss was tried again for the bombing and this time convicted and sentenced to life in prison but died eight years later. The bombing had been blamed on the Ku Klux Klan and even though Herman Cash was dead, Thomas Blanton and Bobby Cherry  was tried and later convicted. Books and songs were dedicated to the girls in their memory.

Digitales Evaluation

Oh Yes I Can by Jane used many photos to get her point across. Instead of words she used pictures to understand her presentation and to get her word across. she used an emotional mood to express her pictures. she used pictures of kids and a report card so people would understand her pictures. her topic was a story of a yound girl re-writing and re-claiming her own life. she expressed this by taking pictures of the girl from when she was small to now. Krystan who wrote about her past revealed everything that went on. she revealed the pain she went through and the obstacles she had to over come. In her pictures she expresses how she feels and even the deppressing moments she went through.  

Digital Story Narrative 2

In 2005 a big hurricane struck. Nobody thought it would be bad enough where people start to lose their life and even lose their house. Hurricane katrina first started off as a category one hurricane in the Bahamas moving through southern Florida. It began to strengthen as it breezed through the Gulf of Mexico to a category three hurricane and moving to New Orleans. Eighty percent of New Orleans was flooded for weeks, but the worst was the coastal areas that had 90% of damage. Over a thousand people lost their life and even more lost their homes. Everybody who didnt live in new orleans felt bad for them. New York sent a few trucks to help the new orleans fireman get the water out of the city. Many people didnt have anywhere to go and couldn't get any help to get out of new orleans. Some eventually died from starvation or trying to send out an SOS. Its hard to tell this story because i really wasnt their and i cant explain the story from a person who experienced this.
