Maxine McNair, Mother Who Lost Daughter To KKK Church Bombing, Dies At 93

Maxine McNair and her daughter Denise were getting ready for a Sunday service at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama when a bomb set by members of the Ku Klux Klan suddenly exploded and killed Denise and three other children. After her daughter’s funeral, McNair went on to become a teacher for 33 years and receive a Congressional gold medal from President Obama before passing away earlier this week.
