The Watsons Go to Birmingham -- 1963

The Hallmark Channel is releasing an original movie, The Watsons Go to Birmingham, based on the works of Christopher Paul Curtis.

 

The story is of the Watson family who travel from Flint, Michigan in the summer of 1963. It will be the same year that four little girls die in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Bombing.

 

The movie is expected to air in September. Ironically, September 15, 2013 is the 50^th observance of that bombing.      

                                                                                                                              

I’ll also keep you abreast of the progress of ‘Tell Them’, my one woman monologue as Denise McNair, the youngest victim of that bombing.
