Statement concerning Alabama Supreme Court opinion

Statement from Rick Journey, Director of Communications in the Office of Public Information for the City of Birmingham
“We are strongly disappointed with the ruling of the Alabama Supreme Court. This ruling appears to be less about the rule of law and more about politics. We are carefully reviewing the opinion to determine our next step, but clearly the citizens of Birmingham should have the final decision about what happens with monuments on Birmingham city grounds.”
