| Summary: | Georgia Bracy is seated beside Debra, but her face is not visible. The Bracy home had been destroyed by a firebomb, so they were living in the shack while their new house was under construction. Debra had been suspended from Wetumpka High School for fighting with a while male student, and the fire occurred two days before she was supposed to return to school. An article about the bomb ("Fire Bomb Levels Elmore County Farmhouse" by John Klein) appeared on page 1 of The Southern Courier for January 8-9, 1966; an article ("On Jan. 1, 1966, the House Was Bombed" by Debra Bracy) and photo spread about the family appeared on page 3 of The Southern Courier for December 2-3, 1967. Both issues are available online (not on the ADAH website): http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No02_1966_01_08.pdf and http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol3_No49_1967_12_02.pdf
