they are singing about freedom from racism, from all of the hate and they in my opinion are singing for justice for those girls

"Birminghan Sunday" is song written by Richard Fariña and performed by Fariña and Joan Baez. The choir sings about racism particularly focused on the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church on Sunday, September 15th, 1963. On that tragic day members of the Ku Klux Klan killed four girls.
