Civil rights organizations are gathering in Montgomery this weekend to march for voting rights. It's part of the "All Roads Lead to the South" movement. The march follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing Alabama to use its 2023 congressional map. The map was initially criticized for diluting the voting power of Black Alabamians. Thousands are expected to march on the State Capitol on Saturday.
Construction is underway for the new Percy Julian High School in Montgomery. A groundbreaking ceremony took place Wednesday at the school's new site off of North Eastern Boulevard. The new school is expected to be completed by the spring of 2028.
