Racism in Alabama's Governor's Office-Any Surprise?

Citizens of Lowndes County, Alabama are upset this morning, particularly the Black citizens of the county, because Governor Bob Riley of Alabama-Republican, has overlooked long-serving Lowndes County deputy John Williams, with thirty years of service under his belt, as the new sherrif of Lowndes County, to replace the late Sherriff Vaughner, who died recently. The citizens of Lowndes County are on the move to have this man who is a public servant undo his appointment and appoint a Black sherriff to represent the Black citizens of a majority Black county. To contact the governor of Alabama and tell him to undo his appointment call, fax, or email
