Legislature honors onetime Communist leader Angela Davis
MONTGOMERY (AP) — Red state politics may have taken on a new meaning in Alabama.
The Montgomery Advertiser reported that Alabama's Republican-controlled Legislature passed a resolution honoring Angela Davis, who was a vice presidential nominee for the Communist Party in 1980 and 1984.
The resolution by Democratic Rep. Oliver Robinson of Birmingham won approval in the House Feb. 14 and in the Senate Feb. 19. Republican Gov. Robert Bentley declined to sign it, but it still became an official act of the Legislature.
Robinson says Davis is a Birmingham native, and he sponsored the resolution because she will be appearing in Birmingham March 30.
The chairman of the House Rules Committee, Republican Mac McCutcheon of Huntsville, says he did not connect the Angela Davis in the resolution with the activist Angela Davis.

Let it be, no harm, some good will.
WHAT?!?!?!?!??!? Are you kidding me???? Who voted for this nonsense???
What now we are suppose to honor communism in America. I don't think so.
What is Davis being honored for? For being a Communist or for other lifelong achievements?
I would like to have more information on this.
Proclamations are passed all the time for various reasons and are done so unanimously as a courtesy to whoever presented them. This was an under handed move by the Dems. The proclamation had nothing to do with her communism and since she was relatively unknown, no one recognized the name. Still not as bad as that time Dems used dogs and water hoses to prevent blacks from voting
