I can neither disagree with Malcolm's assessment nor the results the risk got.

And key opponents organized against equality immediately after, and have now brought us close to where Civil Rights started.

     "Malcolm X was opposed to the event because he thought it would expose the children to violence. He said: "Real men don't put their children on the firing line."

Interesting that so much recently has been said about the nicknaming of Chicago as Chi-raq, but I've never heard of "Bombingham" before until viewing this video. 

Bombingham is a nickname for Birmingham, Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement due to the 50 dynamite explosions that occurred in the city between 1947 and 1965. Thebombings were initially used against African Americans attempting to move into neighborhoods with entirely white residents. Later, the bombings were used against anyone working towards racial desegregation in the city.^[1] One neighborhood within Birmingham experienced so many bombings it developed the nickname of Dynamite Hill.^[2]
