For those who want to read an enlightening deep dive into the Birmingham story, I recommend Diane McWhorter's Carry Me Home. McWhorter was raised in Birmingham, in its top social and economic echelons. As I was in the same period in Arkansas, she was taught to imagine that it was working-class whites who were fomenting violence. Then as an adult, she did painstaking study of the many currents leading from top levels of society to those committing the violence.
