  • Birmingham, the Bombing, and Restorative Justice
    The Past on Trial: Birmingham, the Bombing, and Restorative Justice S. Willoughby Andersont INTRODUCTION Since 1989, state and national law enforcement authorities have reopened or begun investigations into at least eighteen civil rights-era murders across the South. Of those, seven cases resulted in murder or manslaughter convictions. In almost as many cases, one or more of the primary suspects had already died. Most other civil rights-era cases can no longer lead to viable prosecutions due to immunity issues, the passage of time, or political inertia.1 These trials have captivated a national audience as elderly Klansmen sat before juries, answering for their attempts to keep Southern society racially segregated and, for many observers, personifying the society that the civil rights movement had struggled to eradicate. Birmingham, Alabama followed suit, convicting two such Klansmen in 2001 and 2002 for its most 2notorious civil rights-era atrocity, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing.
