THE GENTLE GIANT OF DYNAMITE HILL
LEE, HELEN SHORES
These are the firsthand accounts of sisters Helen and Barbara Shores growing up with their father, Arthur
Shores, a prominent Civil Rights attorney, during the 60s in the Jim Crow south Birmingham district---a frequent
target of the Ku Klux Klan. Between 1948 and 1963, some 50 unsolved Klan bombings happened in Smithfield
where the Shores family lived, earning their neighborhood the nickname 'Dynamite Hill.' Due to his work, Shores'
daughter, Barbara, barely survived a kidnapping attempt. Twice, in 1963, Klan members bombed their home,
sending Theodora to the hospital with a brain concussion and killing Tasso, the family's cocker spaniel. The
family narrowly escaped a third bombing attempt on their home in the spring of 1965. The Gentle Giant of
Dynamite Hill is an incredible story of a family's unfair suffering, but also of the Shores' overcoming. This family's
sacrificial commitment, courage, determination, and triumph inspire us today through this story and the selfless
service, work, and lives of Helen Shores Lee and Barbara Sylvia Shores.
