IN BIRMINGHAM WE ARE FIGHTING HISTORY: Race against race, class against class, this side not talking to that side. Last month, that sentiment was the impetus that prompted Birmingham Weekly to convene five local leaders for a lunchtime conversation about our community. This week’s cover story features excerpts from that two-hour, one-of-a-kind conversation.
Other highlights of Vol. 11, Issue 30 include Hot Seat & Limelight, the news in brief and Courtney Haden ruminating on what makes the BAMAs so worthwhile by considering the slow decline of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And what with the rising popularity of Guitar Hero, the problem is only bound to get worse.
