The closing of Alabama Live! today was impressive. Josh and Judd, holding a bag of treats from Redland Elem. School, lauched an Oreo at Tonya, who was sitting at the newsdesk. It sailed between cameras and lighting equipment and right into Tonya's hands about 30 feet away!More >>

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -
The head of the Birmingham Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference says three black lawmakers have tried to "sanitize" what they believe to be racist comments from another state senator.
During the bingo corruption trial last year, Senator Scott Beason was recorded on tape calling customers of Greenetrack in Greene County "aborigines." Beason came under immediate fire for the comments and issued an apology.
Now the SCLC's Bishop Calvin Woods is condemning Representatives John Rogers, Mary Moore and Guandalyn Givan for defending the comments. In a news conference on Thursday morning, Woods called for Beason to resign and said "those who try to clean up his comments and clean his mouth with Tide" should consider doing the same.
Representative Moore told FOX6 that she does not believe ‘aborigine' to be a racist comment.
Representative Rogers stated that he has invited Beason to come to the 16th Street Baptist Church's Unity Breakfast to defend himself and take hard questions from those in attendance. An organizer of the breakfast told FOX6 this afternoon that the breakfast has been canceled due to the controversy surrounding Beason and the three lawmakers.
