Carole Robertson
by Carole Boston Weatherford

Carole Robertston,
Who loved books, earned straight A's,
And took dance lessons every Saturday.
Who joined the Girl Scouts and science club
And played clarinet in the high school band.
A member of Jack and Jill of America.
Carole, who thought she might want
To teach history someday
Or at least make her mark on it.

Carole Rosamond Robertson was one of the four young girls killed in the KKK bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham on 15 September 1963.
