Question

which word best describes the response of the public to the bombing of the sixteenth street baptist church on september 15, 1963?

• outrage
• acceptance
• indifference
• approval

Explanation:

The 1963 Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing killed 4 Black girls, a violent act of white supremacist terrorism during the Civil Rights Movement. The public reacted with widespread anger, shock, and condemnation, as the attack targeted a place of worship and innocent children. The other options (acceptance, indifference, approval) are inconsistent with historical records of the public's negative, outraged response.

Answer:

outrage
