Rick Bragg talks about the last trial of the bombing case of the 16th Baptist Church in this article, focusing on the contentious discussion of the last suspect¯s crime. His words and expression reminds us of a racial incident that happened on Sep.15, 1963, which shocked the entire nation and galvanized the movement for civil rights. Bragg wrote the article on May 12, 2002, the Sunday before the last trial of the very willful murder case; however, it is concerning a crime in which the trials lasted almost 40 years. The article starts mentioning the last trial of Bobby Frank Cherry in this lawsuit. Thus, just like a flashback, Bragg t

Bragg, Rick. °Alabama Faces Old Wound in One Last Trial± New York Times

Bragg quotes bunches of highly weighed sentences. Bragg interviewed a lot of victims coming out of the bombing and many black people with sorrow and sympathy. The bombing scared people on that horrible day, but most of them went through it although it was unfair. °cYou live through it, and, if you can, you can live above it,¯ said Alpha Robertson, Carole Robertson¯s mother. cYou cannot waste a life hating people because all they do is living their life, laughing, doing more evil.¯± The wound is still there racking those inculpable people, but continuous disappointment at the justice made the old wound insensitive. Still the old case was a wound when here came the last trial as was regarded as °a pain as new as yesterday± to most Alabamians. (Bragg 2) Bragg quotes their sentences with techniques. As we could imagine, many relatives of those four poor girls will be of upsurging emotion when talking about the bombing. Those complaints with tears will not be nice testimony, since they will confuse the readers¯ self-distinction ability. Bragg does not mean to convince the readers which side was right. He did mean to let our readers distinguish ourselves. °cThe Bible says that in the last day, all this evil stuff will come out.¯± °cSome people have got demons in them.¯± Such kind of complaints with sense and sensibility is not without weight. (Bragg 4-8)

With his cool mind, Bragg uses his own unique way to fight against racial discrimination by research and analysis work. He plays a role of storyteller, as he is always good at playing, unsentimental but tendentious. He mainly uses logical reasons combined with his emotion reflected from the affair and all the materials in this paper. Bragg does great research work in the preparation periods. He reports the process of the case and mentions the performances of the suspects, the victims, the jury and the investigation agent with analysis and critique.

Bragg's accurate analysis work supports his purposes of getting reasons and lessons from the deaths. Anyway, the four suspects are the killers on the surface, and the question hidden inside is who should be absolutely responsible for the murder terror. Nevertheless, they could not do it on purpose without any support and encouragement. The answer is certainly not. Thousands of white supremacists behind those four men are the potential killers, among whom some existed in the trials of this case, which could be regarded as a protection power for the suspects. Bragg discovered a scandal of the F.B.I during the searching development in the early years after that blast. At first, a report came out from the F.B.I., which contains all the evidence about the proof of the four men¯s willful murder. °Saying that the chances for conviction wer
