SCLC Convention Opens Amid King Leadership Controversy
The SCLC begins its national convention in Montgomery amid debate over Martin Luther King II's leadership and fundraising. Alabama leaders defend King while addressing issues like racial profiling and police brutality, with focus on unity and agenda among board members. The event also ties to Birmingham protest plans over a judge's ruling on Bobby Cherry's competency in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing case.

Barry expected to miss Louisiana head toward Alabama or Florida
Tropical Storm Barry stalls in the Gulf and likely bypasses Louisiana, aiming for Alabama or Florida Panhandle. NHC forecasters cite inland arrival between Mobile and Pensacola as a best estimate, with high tides and showers possible in southeast Louisiana. Local officials prepare sandbags and closings as lifeguards warn of dangerous currents. Barry, the second named storm of 2001, is expected to slowly strengthen over the weekend.
