There have been several instances of bombings in Black history, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. One of the most infamous incidents was the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963. Four young Black girls were killed when members of the Ku Klux Klan detonated a bomb at the church.

Another notable event was the bombing of the MOVE organization in Philadelphia on May 13, 1985. The city dropped a bomb on the group's headquarters, resulting in a massive fire that destroyed over 60 homes and killed 11 people, including 5 children.

These bombings, among others, highlight the violent resistance faced by Black individuals and organizations fighting for civil rights and social justice in the United States.
