4 Girls in Birmingham

Acrylic on Canvas

40 x 60 inches

Unframed

A sacred tribute to the four young girls whose lives were taken in the 1963 Birmingham church bombing —

Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Denise McNair.

Seated beneath radiant stained-glass windows, the girls are rendered not in grief, but in light — dresses bright, posture calm, presence eternal. The stained glass glows in their honor, each pane a reminder of innocence, faith, and the cost of hatred.

4 Girls of Birmingham asks the viewer to remember them not only as tragedy,

but as joy, as color, as girls who should have become women.

Their stillness is not silence, but legacy —

a quiet echo of justice, memory, and unforgotten youth.
