Four Black girls were murdered in a church for daring to exist in a desegregated America.
Decades later, justice came, because people refused to let the story die.
Watch Sen Doug Jones and historian Heather Cox Richardson break it down.

A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
