    Birmingham, Alabama was nicknamed "Bombingham" due to the frequency of bombings by white segregationists against the black community. The children's march was organized after Dr. King realized that the city's segregationist policies would not change unless more drastic measures were taken. Over 1,000 children marched peacefully through the streets in waves of 50, facing police dogs and fire hoses, and over 800 children were arrested and taken to jail, where the images of their treatment helped turn national opinion in favor of desegregation and the civil rights movement.
