"The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963"

The following clip is a film reenactment of the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama on September 15, 1963. After viewing this film clip, reflect back over the novel that you read and discussed in class. If you had an opportunity to talk to Christopher Paul Curtis, what would you say to him  about his historical fiction novel, The Watson Go to Birmingham-1963?
