Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })4 Little Girls is a Spike Lee joint from 1997.It is a documentary film about the notorious 16th Street Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963. Four white racists planted dynamite which exploded at 10:22 am, shortly before Sunday services at the church were to begin. Killed in the explosion were four young black girls: Addie Mae Collins (aged 14), Carol McNair (aged 11), Carole Robertson (aged 14), and Cynthia Wesley (aged 11). Eventually, long after the murders, one of the perpetrators is put on trial.The tragedy ignited worldwide anger and outrage and is widely seen as being a factor in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1965.

Blatant Lies: Howell Raines, then a teenaged boy growing up in Birmingham, describes seeing footage of Fred Shuttlesworth being beaten. Raines recognized one of the men beating Shuttlesworth, so he was shocked to realize that police were lying when they said they didn't know who did it.

Politically Incorrect Villain: Jesus. Robert Chambliss is said to have enjoyed bombing. One person says that Bull Connor, the notorious racist sheriff of Birmingham, couldn't have existed without the broad support of the less overtly hostile white people of Alabama.

The Ken Burns Effect: Another stock documentary trope, used with stills documenting civil rights protests in Birmingham as well as with many photos of the murdered girls.
