My Dad was a typical white southern racist of the time - more paternalistic than mean, such as "They just aren't equipped to be equal to the white folks." But I remember the look on his face and how somber he was the day those girls (I had a 7 year old sister) were murdered.
In a strange way, the monster that blew up that church may have done more to soften the hearts of white Southerners and advance the cause of equal rights than the marches and rhetoric that was going on at that time.
