    Birmingham, Alabama. Smack in the heart of the American South. This was a Confederate state during the civil war, and one of the states that resisted racial integration. Also a state that plays a huge role in the life and death of Martin Luther King Jr., and has a deeply rooted history of racial tension.

    This is why the comments concerning the race of the cops vs. the race of the band director.

    Just a little more insight for those not familiar with regional US history.
