BENDING TOWARD JUSTICE by Doug Jones is subtitled "The Birmingham Church Bombing that Changed the Course of Civil Rights." The newly elected Senator from Alabama is a former US Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama where he prosecuted former KKK members for their roles in the 1963 bombing. In Part One of this text, he first describes events leading up to the bombing, the event itself (which occurred when Jones was 9 years old), and then the prosecution by Alabama’s Attorney General, William Baxley, eventually leading to one conviction in 1977. Subsequent sections describe Jones' own career and activities as a prosecutor, mainly in obtaining the convictions in early the 2000s. The book contains several plates of black and white images, primarily of Jones and/or his family. BENDING TOWARD JUSTICE offers firsthand accounts and another perspective on an historic event – one that took nearly forty years to achieve a legal resolution.
