Our 67

12/31/2018

 
Alabama is a state filled with economic opportunity and promise. Every county is a priceless treasure, encompassed with an abundance of history and heart.
​
One of the greatest blessings of my life has been the ability to travel across our 67 counties (#Our67), work with a team to build our state, and help folks share their history and stories with others. More good news awaits Alabama. Here is to an incredible bicentennial year and beyond!

Saturday was Rosa Parks Day

12/2/2018

 
GOOD NEWS - Alabama History: I feel grateful to have spent a portion of 1 December in Montgomery to commemorate the legacy of Rosa Parks, a woman of courage and strength, on the first official Rosa Parks Day. The day commenced with a service and the unveiling of a historic marker in Rosa Parks' honor in front of her home church, St. Paul A.M.E. on East Patton Avenue. In this historic and sacred setting, Carver High School Choir and Alabama State University Choir brought me to tears with one of the most beautiful performances I have ever heard.
