Author Lisa Mc Nair Tours the Nation Sharing Her Account of A Family Tragedy!

Turning her family’s suffering into purpose, a woman travels the country. She shared her story in York County on Thursday.
In 1963, the KKK bombed a church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing Lisa McNair’s sister Denise and three other girls.
Most First Presbyterian Church of York attendees was curious about the speaker and her family’s story.
Lisa McNair, the author, said, “It was a horrible tragedy, but it was an important event in civil rights history and our American history.”
In 1963, four KKK members buried nearly a dozen sticks of dynamite under the 16th Street Baptist Church’s steps.
Lisa’s 11-year-old sister Denise and three other girls were murdered in the blast.
“Most civil rights stories aren’t taught in schools. So we need to know them so we don’t repeat history “Added McNair.
Though sensitive and emotional, she feels the themes are still pertinent.
“Denise’s murderer will be 60 years old next year. To prevent these incidents, we must work harder “McNair stated.
