When Katt Williams arrived at the Greystone Golf & Country Club last week with leaders from Miles College he was there for more than a celebrity appearance. The comedian, singer and actor was part of weeklong series of events to shape the next generation of creators and innovators at the Fairfield-based HBCU, officials say.

The Legacy Golf Classic in Greystone was held to benefit Miles College in partnership with Williams and his Kemet movie studio. The actor was also honored at the Top 50 Alumni Awards ceremony held the following day.

“This has been a defining week for Miles College,” said President Bobbie Knight. “The Legacy Classic honored both tradition and innovation, bringing our community together on the greens to support scholarships that directly impact our scholars.”

Knight said the college’s partnership with AXM Technologies and Kemet Studios, founded by Williams, “marks another significant milestone in preparing students for the future.”

Kemet Studios is the name for the film studio Williams is developing in Anniston, Alabama, on the site of a former military base he purchased last year. Known locally as Starships, the Anniston site includes dozens of buildings and more than 90 acres of usable flat land on the former base.

“Through this collaboration, Miles College students are engaging with cutting-edge conversations around cultural intellectual property, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality, skills that are shaping the next generation of creators and innovators,” said the president.

The classic was one of several events during Miles College’s 2025 Homecoming celebration, which included student activities, a homecoming parade, and the Top 50 Alumni Gala, where Williams was awarded an honorary doctorate.

“It was my honor to present Mr. Williams with an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters during our 4th Annual Top 50 Alumni Gala, officially welcoming him into the Golden Bear family,” Knight said. “We look forward to all that lies ahead through his partnership with Miles College and the work we will do together to advance opportunity for our students.”

Williams was dressed for the occasion in a black graduation robe and cap at the event in his honor. He offered a bit of humor in his acceptance speech, according to AL.com.

“In a very short period of time, no one could deserve this more than me,” Williams said, generating laughs. “It was going to take a mighty fine institution to recognize that.”

James Aaron Pierre, Jr., Director of Alumni and External Affairs at Miles College said the entire week was “the power of what happens when community and purpose come together from honoring Katt Williams with an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters to launching the inaugural Legacy Classic in his name, we’re building something bigger than a single event, we’re building an HBCU pipeline rooted in opportunity and collaboration.”

‘No Kings’ Protest Draws Large Crowd in Birmingham

Protesters voiced a number of concerns during the "No Kings" rally in Birmingham including health insurance premiums “going through the roof” when Obamacare subsidies end next year, they said. (Will McClelland | wmclelland@al.com)

Protesters in Birmingham joined the nationwide “No Kings” rallies Saturday to challenge policies of the Trump administration. Some held homemade signs. Others wore blow up animal costumes or revolutionary war attire to cheer on speakers and march.

“The No Kings movement stands against government overreach, political excess and corruption and the erosion of democratic values,” said the Rev. Julie Conrady of Birmingham’s United Universalist Church to a large crowd that covered much of the grassy center of Railroad Park Saturday.

Deborah Robinson, 65, of Mountain Brook said this was her first protest. She had thought of going to rallies at different points in her life but had been afraid. This moment feels historic to her, she said.

If I could change one thing, I would get Trump out of office immediately,” said Robinson, a former pediatric nurse. “He seems to be a lot more blatant with his attempts to destroy our democracy and he appears to want to be a dictator.”

Stuart Caper, 78, of Cahaba Heights is a former UAB public health professor. He said he’s very bothered by Trump sending federal troops into cities. Caper is a former CDC employee and feels the agency has been “decimated.” He worries about disease outbreaks.

“They’re the ones that track it down and without them these things will just blow up, you know, just continue until they’re much larger and hurt many more people than they really need to.”

Former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., criticized the Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., for hypocrisy in claiming to uphold freedom of speech but calling the “No Kings” protests “hate rallies.”

“We have the greatest country in the world, and you are here today to defend it. And we can’t ever let that fight. We can’t let that hope die inside us,” he said. “We cannot let that hope be put out by anybody.”

Stephanie May, 45, of Homewood, wore a T-shirt promoting the rights of transgender children. She said a friend of hers has a transgender daughter and she feels the government is taking parents’ rights to raise their kids as they see fit.

She said her biggest concern though is that President Trump has publicly stated ambivalence about the U.S. Constitution.

“Trump has said that he doesn’t know if he needs to uphold the Constitution, so that would be most concerning.”

Ashley Kauhn, 48, of St. Clair County, said she is a lifelong Democrat. She is a stay-at-home mom and her husband works in a steel plant. She worries that health insurance premiums will “go through the roof” when Obamacare subsidies end next year. And she is alarmed by the administration’s anti-immigrant tactics.

“When you’re snatching people up at their hearings, at their legal hearings, waiting for them outside the courtroom, when you are snatching productive citizens off the streets, off of their jobs, that not only hurts those people and their families, it goes against the Constitution.”

In Birmingham, Kamala Harris Reflects on Highlights and Challenges of Her Presidential Campaign

Times staff report

Kamala Harris met a welcoming crowd inside the Alabama Theatre on Friday during the Birmingham stop of her book tour for her new memoir, “107 Days,” a tell-all about her 2024 presidential campaign.

The former Vice President and Democratic 2024 nominee was met with applause and cheers as she took the stage to discuss her historically short campaign, the emotional toll of her defeat and her hopes for the country’s future.

Harris is on a tour of 18 U.S. cities to promote her book in which she provides readers with an inside look at the race for the presidency. The book, co-written by Geraldine Brooks, chronicles her time running for president before she was defeated by President Donald Trump.

Following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race in July 2024, Harris became the Democratic Party’s nominee.

“There was an incredible optimism and a feeling about the potential of our country. And dare I say joy,” she said. “We didn’t really have enough time for enough people to know that’s part of what I stand for.”

Referring often to “the individual” the White House Harris said she grieved after her unsuccessful run for president because I knew what was going to happen,” Harris said.

“We cannot allow that individual in the White House or the people around him or this circumstance in any way dampen our sense of what is possible,” she said.

On stage Friday, Harris reflected on both the highlights and challenges of her presidential campaign, telling the audience that a third of the country voted for the Trump administration, a third supported her campaign, and the remaining portion didn’t vote at all.

Onstage, Harris described a “reversal” of the Civil Rights Movement. She lamented that the Supreme Court could eliminate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which protects political district boundaries drawn to ensure minority communities can elect candidates of their choice.
Without that law, nonwhite representation –- especially Black representation in the South –- could diminish considerably, from Congress to local school boards and municipal councils.

“We’ve got work to do,” she said repeatedly. “Keep fighting.”

UAB School of Nursing Expands Program to Address Nurse Shortage

UAB’s BSN Pathway, ranked No. 1 in Alabama by U.S. News & World Report, will be the first in the state to admit BSN students year-round, with most graduates accepting positions and practicing in Alabama. (UAB)

The University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Nursing is expanding its Bachelor of Science in Nursing Pathway to launch a summer cohort in summer 2026. Adding this cohort will make the UAB School of Nursing the first in the state to admit BSN students year-round, with most graduates accepting positions and practicing in Alabama.

“This new summer cohort enables us to respond to rising demand for nurses in Alabama and beyond while upholding the standards of excellence that define our BSN Pathway and all of our nursing education programs,” said Katie Parris, DNP, associate professor and associate dean for Undergraduate and Prelicensure Education. “Historically, most BSN students begin the program in the fall semester of their junior year. This additional cohort gives interested students the opportunity to start their coursework earlier, allowing them to graduate and enter the workforce a semester sooner.”

The new cohort is projected to admit between 30 and 50 students and follow the same five-semester curriculum as the fall and spring BSN cohorts. Students will have access to the school’s support and learning programs, including Student Success ChampionsNursing Honors Program and the Student Nurse Internship Program. They will receive hands-on clinical training experiences offered by on-campus partners in trauma, critical care, and pediatric and adult health, and indulge in other experiences at UAB’s world-class academic health science campus.

“As Alabama’s top-ranked nursing program that educates more nurses than any other in the state, we are proud to be driving growth in nursing education, expanding our number of graduates, and equipping them with the skills and readiness they need to thrive in today’s workforce,” said Maria R. Shirey, Ph.D., dean of the School of Nursing and Fay B. Ireland Endowed Chair.

The school’s long-standing partnership with UAB Medicine is key to the expansion as they will continue providing students with valuable clinical experiences in a high-tech, leading-edge health system.

“Workforce challenges will remain for years to come, but opportunities for nurses will continue to expand,” said Terri Poe, DNP, chief nursing officer of UAB Hospital and associate professor and assistant dean of Nursing Clinical Practice and Partnerships. “At UAB, we invest in students because nurses are critical at the bedside and as educators, leaders and collaborators. We are excited the school is expanding its number of BSN graduates to fill workforce needs now and in the future.”

Applications for the summer cohort open Nov. 17, 2025, and close Feb. 2, 2026. Prospective students can learn more here or register to attend an interest session here.

Why Central Alabama Water Seeks Support from City of Birmingham for $183M Loan

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin is outlining new conditions for the city to support the Central Alabama Water’s application for a $183 million state loan to replace lead and leaking pipes.

In a post on social media, Woodfin said he supports the repairs the loan would provide for customers, but added that certain changes must happen before he and the city council will offer their backing.

Central Alabama Water General Manager Mac Underwood said during a budget workshop earlier this week that the utility is working to maintain its current spending levels to keep costs down for customers.

“What we are trying to do is operate at the current budget levels to be able to save the customer on the back end,” Underwood said.

Woodfin’s conditions include cutting spending on outside legal services and avoiding another water rate increase.

“Right now, we don’t have a rate increase planned for the budget,” Underwood said. “We will continue to work on the budget to make sure that is appropriate.”

If approved, this would mark the first time since 2021 that the board has not raised rates.

The $183 million loan would come through the Alabama Drinking Water Authority’s revolving fund. The state has also asked the city to honor the terms of the loan if Birmingham’s ongoing lawsuit over the transition from Birmingham Water Works to Central Alabama Water prevails.

While the city continues to challenge the new system, leaders agree that major infrastructure upgrades are needed to improve water service across the area.

A spokesperson with the CAW shared this statement: The Alabama Drinking Water Authority requested that the City of Birmingham agree that it would honor the terms of the loan in the event its lawsuit prevails. There is a lawsuit between the City of Birmingham and the CAW that challenges the passage of SB330. If the city wins, the system may revert to BWWB. If the CAW board wins, the system will remain CAW. Therefore, we will not be able to issue debt until the lawsuit is resolved. Central Alabama Water received the letter from Mayor Woodfin and the City of Birmingham. We will discuss the mayor’s request as soon as possible and the board will respond.

GOP Majority Likely to Remain in Alabama’s Most Populous County For Now, After Appeals Court Ruling 

0
A U.S. appeals court halted a federal court judge’s order that could have shifted the Jefferson County Commission from a majority Republican to a Democratic majority. (File)

By Barnett Wright | The Birmingham Times

A U.S. appeals court in Atlanta on Thursday halted a federal court judge’s order that could have shifted the Jefferson County Commission from a majority Republican to a Democratic majority.

In September, Federal Judge Madeline Haikala ruled Jefferson County’s 2021 districting plan violated the Fourteenth Amendment and could not be used in future elections.

The 2-1 decision from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals stayed that ruling noting that the county would have only three weeks to redraw maps because candidates must live in their districts for one year before Election Day on Nov. 3, 2025. The order is stayed pending appeal.

Jefferson County Attorney T.A. “Theo” Lawson III.

“We appreciate the Court granting a stay and understanding our concerns,” said Jefferson County Attorney Theo Lawson. “We look forward to presenting our side of the case on appeal.”

The ruling does not permanently block redistricting but means Jefferson County will likely use current district boundaries for next year’s elections.

The stay appeared to be tied to timing.

Judge Elizabeth L. Branch and Judge Robert J. Luck, writing in the majority opinion for the Appeals Court, warned courts against changing election rules close to an election.

“The post-briefing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 20, 2025, which is only two weeks before the deadline for candidates to establish residency… No electoral map is currently in place and the district court has not provided a date by which a remedial redistricting plan will be approved,” Branch and Luck wrote.

“The district court’s injunction, given its timing, will create confusion and hardship… because there is no electoral map in place mere weeks before the… November 3 residency deadline. The district court’s scheduling order calls for a potential hearing on October 20, with any remedial redistricting plan to follow at an undetermined date. That schedule leaves, at most, two weeks until the November 3 residency deadline. Given the current posture, compliance with this deadline is nearly impossible.”

The majority pushed back on claims that a stay would confuse voters.

“But the plaintiffs vastly overstate the voter confusion that will result from a stay maintaining the status quo … And they understate the diminished public confidence resulting from a last minute remedial redistricting announcement,” Judges Branch and Luck wrote.

Last month, Judge Haikala ordered the county to develop a “remedial redistricting plan” within 30 days “because the 2021 plan violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s protection against racial gerrymandering.”

The Legal Defense Fund (LDF), along with several law firms, filed a lawsuit in 2023 on behalf of Cara McClure and several others challenging the County Commission districts as unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

Plaintiffs in the McClure v. Jefferson County Commission case argued that the commission’s current five-district map in Alabama’s most populous county illegally packed Black voters into districts 1 and 2 and unfairly diluted their influence elsewhere.

Currently, the county commission districts are made up of 1 and 2 which are mostly Black and Democrat; and 3, 4 and 5 which are mostly white and Republican.

That’s likely to remain the same for the 2026 Jefferson County elections.

Mayor Woodfin Makes Moves to Oversee Growing Personnel in Birmingham Police Dept.

Due in part to a nearly $16M officer recruitment and retention plan, BPD is expected to achieve full staffing in early 2026. (BPD)

Times Staff Report   

With a police department that has added more than 200 officers through new recruits and transfers from other law enforcement departments in the last year, Birmingham Mayor Randall L. Woodfin on Thursday took steps to strengthen the command staff to help oversee the dramatic growth.

Due in part to a nearly $16 million officer recruitment and retention plan, BPD is expected to achieve full staffing in early 2026 and with that in mind Woodfin on Thursday named three veteran law enforcement officers to leadership under Chief Michael Pickett.

Lt. Heath Boackle has been appointed Deputy Chief of Patrol Bureau; Lt. JaCorey Foster has been appointed Deputy Chief of Special Operations Bureau; and Lt. Field Morton has been appointed Deputy Chief of Investigations Bureau. (Provided)

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Heath Boackle has been appointed Deputy Chief of Patrol Bureau; Lt. JaCorey Foster has been appointed Deputy Chief of Special Operations Bureau after serving in the interim role since January and Lt. Field Morton has been appointed Deputy Chief of Investigations Bureau after serving in an acting role since June.

The newly appointed leaders join Deputy Chief of Administrative Bureau Rodarius Mauldin. The appointments for Foster and Morton take effect immediately. Boackle’s appointment begins Monday, October 20.

Boackle, who served in the Birmingham Police Department for nearly 22 years before his retirement in 2019, most recently served over Special Operations in the Sheriff’s Office Birmingham Division. He is a 2025 graduate of the FBI National Academy. He began his law enforcement career in BPD’s East Precinct as a patrol officer. He is a graduate of Huffman High School and received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from Faulkner University. He is currently studying for a master’s degree in justice administration.

Foster is a 20 years veteran of the department. He has served in various capacities including patrol officer, field training officer, shift supervisor, and was recognized as Supervisor of the Quarter in 2019. As a member of the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force, Foster worked with various state and federal agencies to reduce violent crime in the city, state, and Southeast. A Birmingham native, Foster graduated from Wenonah High School and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from Oakland City University.

Morton brings 21-years of experience with BPD to his new role. He started his career as a patrol officer in West Precinct. He served as an original member of the department’s Crime Reduction Team, collaborating with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. He has served as a detective, as a precinct shift commander, and as Robbery – Homicide Commander in Investigations before assuming the acting role in the bureau. A Jefferson County native, he is a graduate of Minor High School, has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice Administration from Franklin University, and a Master of Science degree in Homeland Security and Disaster Management from Liberty University.

BPD has seen a 52 percent reduction in homicides year-to-date and an overall reduction in violent crime. This year, the division’s weekly crime reduction efforts have totaled 2,248 arrests including 1,400 felony arrests and more than 500 firearms seized. BPD continues to invest in technological tools to support the Real Time Crime Center to enhance crime reduction, increase the number of take-home vehicles for officers, and strengthen collaboration with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and federal law enforcement partners.
