Denasha Williams, a senior at Huffman High School, read about the historic 1963 Children’s Crusade in Birmingham that helped lead to groundbreaking federal Civil Rights Legislation. On Friday, she got a chance to experience it.

Williams and more than 200 students from various Birmingham City Schools gathered in Kelly Ingram Park to re-enact the Children’s Crusade held 62 years ago this month.

“I feel great about [today’s re-enactment],” Williams said. “It’s like I’m understanding what [students in 1963] went through … I feel like I got the chance to understand the way that they felt and what it was like to have the pressure on them.”

Aniya Tolbert, a junior at Huffman High School, said she used to attend a school where “we would talk about Black history, but today just gave me a more in-depth look at the Children’s March, including the actual time frame in which these events happened,“ she said.

On Friday, students gathered in downtown Birmingham at Sixth Avenue North and 17th Street North and walked toward Birmingham City Hall. (Amarr Croskey, For The Birmingham Times)

Birmingham’s historic Children’s Crusade, which took place May 2-10, 1963, involved more than 1,000 students walking downtown to talk to leadership at City Hall about segregation.

Many were arrested. They were also attacked by police dogs and sprayed with water hoses.

The event led to President John F. Kennedy to publicly support federal Civil Rights legislation, eventually led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

On Friday, students gathered in downtown Birmingham at Sixth Avenue North and 17th Street North and walked toward Birmingham City Hall. They ended their walk at Boutwell Auditorium, where they watched a 40-minute documentary.

John Banks, a freshman at Wenonah High School, said he understands the importance of what happened 62 years ago.

“By [the Foot Soldiers] going out there and marching, they made change. They got people’s attention, and it allowed them to actually get something done.”

The re-enactment also “opened my eyes to the significance of my city, our city, Birmingham,” he said. “… Times right now are scary, just like in the past, but if we preserve our history, we can learn from it to build a better future for everyone.”

Birmingham Business Owners Urge Governor Ivey to Veto Hemp Bill

Small business owners in Birmingham are sounding the alarm over House Bill 445, warning it could devastate Alabama’s hemp industry and force longtime retailers to shut their doors.

The legislation would give the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board authority over consumable hemp products, including those containing delta-8, delta-9, and delta-10 THC. It includes strict licensing requirements, product restrictions, and a 10% excise tax.

“Having the ABC board taking over is not all this is,” said Jenni Otwell, CEO of Magic City Organics. “It’s so much bigger than that. It’s the end of all of our businesses, really, truly.”

Otwell says her company has shipped products nationwide from its Birmingham storefront for the past 10 years, prioritizing education and compliance.

“We have people that are sent to us, referred to us from cancer centers, because they are at their wits end,” she said. “They cannot figure out what to do. They can’t seem to find any sort of relief.”

She says the bill’s regulations would likely force Magic City Organics to relocate out of state.

“We are all real people. We are not criminals,” Otwell said. “We abide by all the laws, and we’ve been self-regulating for seven years.”

Under HB 445, smokable and vape hemp products would be banned, THC limits in edibles would be capped at 10mg per serving, and only adults 21 and older could purchase from a restricted set of retail locations.

“I use cannabis in my everyday life to keep me off SSRIs and NSAIDs,” said Kat, a local mom. “I’m not willing to drink alcohol. I’m not willing to use pills to fight my pain, and I’m here for people like me.”

A local brewery owner also spoke out, calling the measure “failed prohibition” and warning it contradicts the legislature’s own public health goals.

“All that has been accomplished with this is addressing a point-of-sale issue,” he said, “while ignoring the blatant hypocrisy of removing cannabis from shelves and replacing it with tequila and vodka.”

“There are thousands of jobs on the line. There are hardworking, well-meaning people, and this is going to create outcomes that are devastating.”

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin says the bill undercuts small businesses and could push vulnerable residents toward dangerous alternatives.

“This bill does not protect our communities,” he said. “It destroys jobs — and hurts local businesses. This is economic sabotage.”

Woodfin said millions of dollars in revenue is pumped into the state through these businesses.

“For the past seven years, they’ve helped save lives,” Woodfin continued. “But with this bill, you’re pushing everyday people to the black market.”

Business owners are asking Alabamians to call the governor’s office and urge a veto before the bill takes effect.

After Starring at UAB and Red Mountain Theatres, Jalen Kirkman Headed to NYC

By Shannon Thomason | UAB News

Jalen Kirkman loves to tell stories, and he has helped tell some great ones while studying at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

First, Kirkman, 22, was in the UAB Department of Theatre’s production of “Godspell” as Jesus, then in “A New Brain” as Roger and “Into the Woods” as Baker. Fresh from playing cool guy on campus Adam in “Freaky Friday,” last year he played policeman Eddie Souther in “Sister Act,” both presented by Theatre UAB’s historic professional collaboration with Birmingham’s Red Mountain Theatre Company.

In between, Kirkman worked with Red Mountain Theatre in “Dreamgirls” as C.C. White, “Holiday Spectacular” in 2023, and 2024, “The Color Purple” and “The Donna Summer Musical.” At Maine State Music Theatre, he was John Thayer in “Titanic” and in the ensemble for “9 to 5.” For Fulton Theatre, he played Dickon in “The Secret Garden: In Concert” and was in the ensemble for “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” He also made news in his own story, by entering, and winning, a national competition for young voices singing classic music.

Kirkman performed the national anthem and UAB alma mater at the Saturday morning commencement May 3 at Bartow Arena. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater from the College of Arts and Sciences on a Personalized Path in the UAB Honors College. He studied with Head of Musical Theatre Valerie Accetta, faculty in the college’s Department of Music, and Department of Theatre professors Dennis McLernon, Jack Cannon and Roy Lightner, who is also artistic director at Red Mountain Theatre and with whom Kirkman trained in dance. Kirkman performed in the Department of Theatre’s student tour group, a company of students who regularly travel to schools and community venues during the school year to present performances. He got the chance to work on staff at the Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center with the facility’s house management team for another perspective on performance.

A big moment — and big break — came in 2024 when he was selected as a finalist in the “NextGen National: Finding the Voices of Tomorrow” contest presented by the American Pops Orchestra at Lincoln Center. The final 10 vocalists were chosen from 240 student submissions in 112 colleges. Competitors participate in NextGen free of charge but are required to use older music from before the 1970s.

Each finalist received an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City to attend master classes and events and work with professional artists, then perform live at Lincoln Center for the final competition. Kirkman’s family including parents Tera and Eric Kirkman and brother Justin Kirkman went with him to New York, along with UAB students and graduates Kiersten David, Mac Baxter and Bri Hernandez.

Kirkman first performed “Guess Who I Saw Today,” a jazz classic sung first by Nancy Wilson and more recently by Samara Joy — a performing artist he was able later to experience live in concert at UAB’s Alys Stephens Center. For the final competition, he performed “Night Song” from the Sammy Davis Jr. musical “Golden Boy” and “Fascinating Rhythm” by Ella Fitzgerald. Four judges, along with the audience, voted for the winners, and Kirkman was named the top vocalist from across the country. He was awarded the Chip Hand Prize for Vocal Excellence, which carries a $10,000 award and performance opportunities with the American Pops Orchestra.

Kirkman’s technique and talent are outstanding, but what is most remarkable about him is his devotion to his community, Accetta says.

Jalen Kirkman talks about why he chose musical theater as his major in this Blazer Majors moment from the College of Arts and Sciences.

“He shows up for all of his classmates and collaborators, and he says yes to every opportunity,” Accetta said. “He leads with gratitude and an open heart, and it has been a privilege to work with him these last four years.”

After graduation, this summer he will work at Music Theatre Wichita in “Crazy for You,” “Something Rotten” and “Newsies.” After signing with the talent agency Hudson Artists Agency based in New York, he will move to New York City this fall to pursue his career full time.

Kirkman says he is “over the moon” about getting to move to New York. His agents will continue submitting him for projects both in the city and across the country, something he is very excited for, he says.

“It can be very daunting when you start to think about the level of talent that thrives there and not to even mention the rent prices, but it’s all worth it,” Kirkman said. “Something about being immersed in the culture and art of New York City charges my soul in a way I have not felt before, and I am excited to be living in that full time.”

How he chose UAB is a story Kirkman says he loves telling prospective students.

Accetta visited his high school in Florence, Alabama, when he was a sophomore and did a master class during which he and several students sang. The next year, he attended the Southeastern Theater Conference to audition for different colleges and get ready for senior year.

“The audition set up for that is like a cattle-call type thing,” Kirkman said. “You walk up and are in front of hundreds of different colleges, hundreds of different people who could potentially be interested in you. But I walked on stage, stood in the middle and looked out in the audience, and we locked eyes. She kind of recognized me and smiled a little bit and that just kind of took off any nerves. After the audition, she called me back to talk a little bit more and immediately remembered who I was, came up, gave me a hug and everything, and it was just like catching up with a friend. And so immediately from that point I knew UAB was going to see me more as a person, as Jalen and as who I am, rather than just someone offering up, talent or money or something like that.”

UAB Theatre is supportive and collaborative, and that has resonated with him throughout his time here.

“I don’t think I would be where I am now as a person or as an artist without the time I spent at UAB,” Kirkman said. “The individual love and care that I have received from all the faculty and staff who I have crossed paths with will always stick with me and continues to inspire me to lead with the same love and care in life and in the workplace as well. I will forever be a proud Blazer.”

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Announces the Availability of the Administrative Record for the

Fairfield Neighborhood Lead Site

Fairfield, Jefferson County, Alabama

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency expanded the Fairfield Neighborhood Lead Superfund Site (the Site) from 18 to 38 residential properties that are in and around the City of Fairfield. The Site is an area that has been historically surrounded by iron and steel foundries operating. On December 10, 2021, the EPA received a petition from the Fairfield Environmental Justice Alliance for a Preliminary Assessment of hazards to public health and the environment associated with alleged releases from the facility, and other points and mobile sources impacting residential areas in the City of Fairfield.

The EPA completed the Preliminary Assessment of the Site on August 19, 2022. There were a small number of residential properties with lead or benzo(a)pyrene levels above the EPA’s Removal management Level. The EPA concluded its Site Inspection in May 2024 and determined that the Site will not be listed on the National Priorities List (NPL). A time-critical removal action for hazardous substances is necessary to protect human health and the environment. The EPA has coordinated all investigatory and response activities with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and the City of Fairfield. The total cost for this action is estimated to be $ $4,907,960, which will be funded through the EPA.

The Administrative Record file includes documents that the EPA used to select the removal action. A removal action is a short-term cleanup intended to stabilize a site that poses an imminent and substantial threat to human health or the environment. Documents in the record may include, but are not limited to, preliminary assessment and inspection report, test results, and the Action Memorandum. All interested persons are encouraged to review the documents. The Administrative Record is available for public review at: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/CurSites/cadminrecord.cfm?id=0420772&doc=Y&colid=67692.

The Prime General Contractors seeking to be pre-qualified will require experience with similar size and type hospital projects performed in and adjacent to an operating hospital environment and with the implementation and maintenance of infection control measures, interim life safety measures, coordinating shutdowns, and maintaining a clean and organized job site in an operating hospital.
