bombing of the baptist church

Wasn't there an album about the bombing of the baptist church in 1963?

The most famous bombing was the one in Birmingham that killed four teenage girls. But we can't find a hit album that was related to the event.

The closest we have found was John Coltrane's 1963 album "Coltrane Live at Birdland" which is in the Acclaimed Albums list and has the song "Alabama" on it.
