snarling dogs

..a wider view of this and this..

This sculpture is one of several â€œinteractiveâ€ monuments in Kelly Ingram Park, north of the Baptist church where a KKK bomb killed four young African-American girls in 1963. Artist James Drakeâ€™s 1991 work depicts snarling police dogs made of scrap iron leaping inward from two walls on either side of the parkâ€™s walkway. Visitors can stand between and try to imagine the terror when civil rights marchers were assaulted with the canines and water cannons â€” which, by the way, are also in the park, and can be pivoted to point toward a sculpture of two cowering protesters.

…

Mission San Francisco de AsÃs, or Mission Dolores, is the oldest surviving structure in San Francisco and the sixth religious settlement established as part of the California chain of missions. The Mission was founded on June 29, 1776, by Lieutenant JosÃ© Joaquin Moraga and Father Francisco PalÃ³u (a companion of Father Junipero Serra), both members of the de Anza Expedition, which had been charged with bringing Spanish settlers to Alta (upper) California, and evangelizing the local Natives, the Ohlone.(source)

16 street baptist church

..here’s a shot of the actual church from the previous post..

Sixteenth Street Baptist Church is a Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama which is frequented predominately by African Americans. In September 1963, it was the target of the racially motivated 16th Street Baptist Church bombing that killed four girls in the midst of the American Civil Rights Movement. The church is still in operation and is a central landmark in the Birmingham Civil Rights District. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2006.(source)
