Montgomery's sister city Birmingham was also represented at the Academy Awards, with the nomination of the short film Foot soldier: The barber of Birmingham , putting the spotlight on the unsung heroes of the Civil Rights movement such as the late James Armstrong, who dedicated his life to fighting for civil rights.
We owe James Armstrong, Colonel Stone Johnson and the other foot soldiers a debt of gratitude that is priceless.
The struggle continues. Reverend Al Sharpton, along with the AFL-CIO and other grass roots organizations, will lead foot soldiers in a march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama beginning March 4 in, ending March 9, 2012 to protest the new voter laws, or as I call them, the keep black folks from voting laws.
Black voters are not engaged in voter fraud. The right to vote is sacred to black voters.
All roads lead to Montgomery, Alabama ,the birthplace of Academy Award winning actress Octavia Spencer.

Football doesn't bother me as one of our points of awesome. Excelling in athletics is a worthwhile pursuit.
And Bravo, Octavia Spencer! I was pulling for Davis, too. :-)
