i think this is a big step, i mean as !@#$%! said the early twentieth century was not kind to African-Americans, and the fact it was Alabama says a lot
Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama were the center of of it all, and i mean it all, through the 50s and 60s the defining moments of the civil rights movement occurred in those 2 cities including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and Birmingham......dear fuck, let's just say it earned the nickname "Bombingham", and in 1963 alone MLK Jr was arrested for a non-violent protest, the police turned fire-hoses and police dogs on school children, and most horribly the 16th St. Baptist church bombings by the KKK that killed 4 little black girls 14 years old and younger
this is very humbling of the Alabama Legislature to deal with their ignorance that goes back as far as Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis, but as recent as George Wallace and Bull Connor
