We Built It. They Bombed It. We remembered. Now they want to profit from it — without us? The 16th Street Baptist Church was built by Black hands and bombed in an attempt to break our spirit. But here we are — still standing. Still fighting. Still pouring love, labor, and legacy into the heart of Birmingham. This place is sacred not just because of what happened in 1963 — but because of everything we gave before and after. Our pain, our prayers, our power — all of it laid the foundation for what this site means today. And now, as decisions are made about its future, we have to ask: who’s at the table? Because this isn’t just about new development — it’s about ownership, truth, and respect. 🧱 This is our legacy. This opportunity only exists because of our suffering, our sacrifice, and our strength. It should never be used to benefit others while we’re left out — again. We honor the past by protecting the future. 📣 So we ask YOU, Alabama — who should have the final say in what happens next? 👉🏾 Drop your zip code below if you believe this legacy belongs to us. Let’s show how deep this history runs across our cities, towns, and neighborhoods. Let them see we’re watching. And we’re not backing down. #WeBuiltIt #TheyBombedIt #OurLegacyOurRight #16thStreetTruth #ProtectBlackSacredSites #BlackHistoryBuiltByUs #JusticeAndMemory #BCAAC #ReclaimTheBlueprint #NotWithoutUs #NUBCU
