Titled “Birmingham’s ‘Fifth Girl’,” the article chronicles the life of Sarah Collins Rudolph, whose sister and three other young black girls were killed on September 15, 1963, when a bomb ripped through the 16^th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.  Twelve years old at the time, Ms. Rudolph became known as the “Fifth Girl,” a hate crime survivor who lived for decades in anonymity before sharing her story publicly at age 49.  Former partner Tom Bolling became involved after hearing her speak.  Now, a team led by Partner Ishan K. Bhabha is championing efforts that could include an apology and restitution without a lawsuit.  “It’s hard to think of a more compelling story,” Mr. Bhabha told The Post.  Other team members include Partner Alison I. Stein and Associate Caroline C. Cease.
