On the weekend before the start of the regular season, the Auburn Montgomery women’s basketball team celebrated Make a Difference day by reading to local children.

It is the 16th straight year that the program has volunteered for the national event, which took place on Saturday, October 27. Head Coach Dan Davis went with half of the team to the Heritage View Apartments, while assistant Haley McIntyre Rosa took the rest of the Warhawks to the Molina Learning Center. Rosa has now experienced the event as a player and coach at AUM.

“It’s always such a great event to go out and be able to give back to the community,” Rosa said. “Our young ladies can be great representatives for these kids, who may not have good role models in their lives.”

An estimated 35 children attended the two events. Dr.

SELMA, AL (WSFA) - It's been 47 years since the Bloody Sunday March from Selma to Montgomery that tipped a balance in the American Civil Rights Movement. For years Amelia Boynton-Robinson couldn't identify the man seen holding her lifeless body in an iconic photograph of the event. Later this month, the two will reunite for the first time since that fateful day.

Known as the Matriarch of the Voting Rights Movement, 101-year-old Amelia Boynton-Robinson has been asked for nearly a half century about the man seen holding her limp body after coming to her aid at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

"I've always wished I could give a better answer when they ask, 'Who was he? Who is he?'" said Boynton.
