STORYLINE
Hundreds of people gathered on Monday in Birmingham, Alabama to sing protest anthems and march against the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager continued.
They gathered at the same site where civil right demonstrations were held 50 years ago.
Protesters chanted no justice, no peace and made plans for more rallies against the acquittal of Zimmerman, a US neighbourhood watch volunteer who shot dead 17-year-old Trayvon Martin but was found not guilty of second-degree murder
Zimmerman claimed the shooting last year was in self defence.
Wanda Erskine, a civil rights activist who pastors a small church, said the verdict was particularly heart-wrenching to her because her own son was killed seven years ago in a shooting in which no one has been prosecuted.
I know how the mother feels, said Erskine.
Marlon Wright, 32-years-old, of Birmingham said he fears the verdict will make it easier for authorities to racially profile black men without consequence.
As a young black man growing up in Birmingham... I have been subjected to racial profiling, Wright said.
The rally, promoted by civil rights groups and pastors following Zimmerman's acquittal on Saturday, was held in the same area where authorities used police dogs and fire hoses on young people marching for civil rights in then-segregated Birmingham in 1963.
The crowd marched peacefully along downtown streets on Monday, singing civil rights hymns and chanting as police looked on.
While jurors in Florida believed Zimmerman's defence that he acted in self-defence, Erskine doesn't.

Protesters march on Alabama's capitol in opposition to abortion law
Hundreds of demonstrators marched to Alabama's Capitol Sunday to protest the state's newly approved abortion ban, chanting 'my body, my choice!' and 'vote them out!'The demonstration came days after Gov. Kay Ivey signed the most stringent abortion law in the nation - making performing an abortion a felony in nearly all cases unless necessary for the mother's health.The law provides no exception for rape or incest.'Banning abortion does not stop abortion. It stops safe abortion,' said Staci Fox, CEO and president of Planned Parenthood Southeast, addressing the cheering crowd outside the Capitol.Scroll down for video Share this article Share Alabama is part of a wave of conservative states seeking to mount new legal challenges to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide.Governors in Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio and Georgia have approved bans on abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can happen as early as the sixth week of pregnancy.None of the laws have actually taken effect, and all are expected to be blocked by the courts as the legal challenges play out with an ultimate eye on the Supreme Court.Marchers on Sunday said the measures have energized supporters of legalized abortion, and they say they are digging in for a legal and political fight. Along the route they took, the protesters passed by scattered counter-demonstrators. Two speakers at the rally on the Capitol steps shared their stories of having an abortion, including a woman who came out of the crowd to describe the abortion she had after being raped at a party at age 18.Carrying an orange sign with a coat hanger and the caption 'No Never Again,' 69-year-old Deborah Hall of Montgomery said she remembers life before Roe and can't believe the push to return there. 'I had friends who had illegal abortions and barely survived,' said Hall, who for a time ran a clinic in Montgomery that provided abortion, birth control and other services.'I still cannot believe it. It's really a scary time for everybody,' she said of the push to overturn Roe.Similar demonstrations were held in Birmingham and Huntsville on Sunday. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders addressed the abortion issue during a well-attended campaign rally in Kelly Ingram Park just before that city's own pro-choice rally started. Sanders said Georgia and Alabama's new anti-abortion laws are part of a 'well-funded attack coordinated by right wing extremists.'He called the measures 'disgraceful' and 'Draconian' before vowing to mandate any judicial nominees he reviews as president, if he's elected, be supportive of Rowe v. Wade to be considered for federal appellate or supreme court appointments.'I will have a litmus test,' Sanders said. 'I will not appoint anyone to the United Sates Supreme Court unless that man or woman is prepared to defend Roe v. Wade.'Amanda Reyes, who runs Yellowhammer Fund, a nonprofit that provides funding to help low-income wo

Southern United States | Wikipedia audio article
The Southern United States, also known as the American South, Dixie, Dixieland, or simply the South, is a region of the United States of America. It is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Western United States, with the Midwestern United States and Northeastern United States to its north and the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico to its south.
The South does not fully match the geographic south of the United States but is commonly defined as including the states that fought for the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. The Deep South is fully located in the southeastern corner. Arizona and New Mexico, which are geographically in the southern part of the country, are rarely considered part, while West Virginia, which separated from Virginia in 1863, commonly is. Some scholars have proposed definitions of the South that do not coincide neatly with state boundaries. While the states of Delaware and Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia, permitted slavery prior to the start of the Civil War, they remained with the Union. Since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, they became more culturally, economically, and politically aligned with the industrial Northern states, and are often identified as part of the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast by many residents, businesses, public institutions, and private organizations,but the United States Census Bureau puts them in the South.
Usually, the South is defined as including the southeastern and south-central United States. The region is known for its culture and history, having developed its own customs, musical styles, and cuisines, which have distinguished it in some ways from the rest of the United States. The Southern ethnic heritage is diverse and includes strong European (mostly English, Scottish, Scotch-Irish, Irish, German, French, and Spanish American), African, and some Native American components.Some other aspects of the historical and cultural development of the South have been influenced by the institution of slave labor on plantations in the Deep South to an extent seen nowhere else in the United States; the presence of a large proportion of African Americans in the population; support for the doctrine of states' rights, and the legacy of racial tension magnified by the Civil War and Reconstruction Era, as seen in thousands of lynchings (mostly from 1880 to 1930), the segregated system of separate schools and public facilities known as Jim Crow laws, that lasted until the 1960s, and the widespread use of poll taxes and other methods to frequently deny black people of the right to vote or hold office until the 1960s. Since the late 1960s, black people have held many offices in Southern states, especially in the coastal states of Virginia and South Carolina. Many black people have also been elected or appointed as mayors and police chiefs in the metropolises of Charlotte, Birmingham, Richmond, Columbia, Memphis, Houston, Atlanta, Jacksonville, and New Orleans, and serve in both the U.S. Congress and state legislatures.Historically, the South relied heavily on agriculture, and was highly rural until after 1945. It has since become more industrialized and urban and has attracted national and international migrants. The American South is now among the fastest-growing areas in the United States. Houston is the largest city in the Southern United States. Sociological research indicates that Southern collective identity stems from political, demographic, and cultural distinctiveness from the rest of the United States. The region contains almost all of the Bible Belt, an area of high Protestant church attendance (especially evangelical churches such as the Southern Baptist Convention) and predominantly conservative, religion-influenced politics. Indeed, studies have shown that Southerners are more conservative than non-Southerners in several areas, including religion, morality, international relations, and race relations. This is evident in both the region's religious attendance figures and in the region's usually strong support for the Republican Party in political elections since the 1960s, and especially since the 1990s.Apart from its climate, the living experience in the South increasingly resembles the rest of the nation. The arrival of millions of Northerners (especially in major metropolitan areas and coastal areas) and millions of Hispanics has meant the introduction of cultural values and social norms not rooted in Southern traditions. Observers conclude that collective identity and Southern distinctiveness are thus declining, particularly when defined against an earlier South that was somehow more authentic, real, more unified and distinct. The process has worked both ways, however, with aspects of Southern culture spreading throughout a greater portion of the rest of the United States in a process termed Southernization.
