Presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden, left front, joins the congregation of 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, as they sing âÄœWe Shall Overcomeâĝ at Sunday worship on Sept. 15, 2019. Biden was the keynote speaker as the congregation commemorated the 56th anniversary of the Ku Klux Klan bombing that killed four black girls in the congregation during the height of the civil rights movement. Biden is on the front pew along with Alabama Sen. Doug Jones, who as a federal prosecutor decades after the bombings prosecuted two of the responsible Klansmen, and Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin.
