Days after civil rights icon John Lewis laid in repose at the State House, an activist group led by an old friend and former student organizer stirred up trouble at the Capitol when its members attempted to spray paint their message out on the street. In bold yellow letters, it read: "Expand Medicaid."
For the second time in a matter of weeks, former Tuskegee Mayor Johnny Ford and the Save Ourselves Movement for Justice and Democracy (SOS), had made news in Montgomery for their "destruction of public property" in protest of the state's failure to act on what they believe is now the most pressing civil rights issue facing the country.
