By Lynn Brooks| WVUA-TV (Tuscaloosa, AL) Verified You might drive right past a key location of Tuscaloosa’s Civil Rights Movement and not even realize it. First African Baptist Church sits on Stillman Boulevard in downtown Tuscaloosa. Founded by a former slave in 1866, the earliest members met in private homes before securing a permanent location. Members wanted to break away from segregated practices at the city’s all-white churches and create a place of worship without racial barriers. In 1964, Reverend T.Y. Rogers became pastor.
By Lynn Brooks| WVUA-TV (Tuscaloosa, AL) Verified Right now in Tuscaloosa County, 140 children are away from their families through no fault of their own, and many are being moved to other cities due to a critical shortage of local foster homes. According to the Tuscaloosa County Department of Human Resources, there are only 40 qualified foster homes across the county. That’s a staggering shortage, social workers said. Resource Worker for Tuscaloosa County DHR Carrie Vickery said she sees the results first hand.
