Montgomery, a city where more than half the population is black and known as the birthplace of the civil rights movement, elected an African American to the highest position in municipal government for the first time in its 200-year history.

What took so long

Must say his dad is a piece of shyt who made sure that his folks got nothing so he could be the preferred black to whites in Montgomery.
Bobby Bright fuked up the city and ran all the middle class blacks like my family out to Prattville and MIllbrook and Wetumpka when he let them put section 8 housing in woodly park and spring valley. He hurt our middle class black communities.

I hope Steven isn't as bad as his dad and can clamp down on the liberal bullshyt that bright did and the inept shyt that Strange was doing, but i won't hold my breathe.
Just hope Montgomery can turn around, and not become a high tax cesspool like Bham.
