63 years ago today, four precious little girls were killed when white supremacists bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Their legacy is a reminder that the freedoms we enjoy today came at a tremendous cost. We remember them by name: Addie Mae Collins, (cont in image...)

It’s officially college football season in Alabama! As we cheer on our amazing student-athletes, I’m introducing legislation to protect them from unexpected NIL tax bills. We must give these players the tools and protections they need to build a strong financial future. (cont in image...)

Happy 102nd birthday to Birmingham’s own Rev. Bill Greason—the oldest Major Leaguer and last living player from the Negro Leagues era. A pastor, World War II veteran, and baseball trailblazer, Rev. Greason is a true living legend and an Alabama icon! 🎉 https://t.co/q9bzFYW9pL
