Since today is also my name in the museum archives.
Hank Williams, Countymusikikone and role model for many musicians, lived here and we are proud of the son of City even has a museum for him.
The former steel town of Birmingham, in northern Alabama, was also the scene of bloody clashes. Peaceful demonstrations were stopped by the police here with fierce dogs or the people were beaten down.
