The Birmingham bombing answered the March on Washington’s petition with violence.

Evidence

The bombing of the four little girls in the Birmingham Sunday school
that was the first answer that we received to our petition. I thought then what you’ve just said now. There will be no more marches on Washington. No more petitions of the government. No one will ever trust the government again. — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Begin Again, 484

Categorization
