Good morning, Montgomery.

Today, D1 Life Foundation holds its second 5k run—started by a family who turned their loss into a way to help others—to show how hardship can lead to community support.

Former Alabama lieutenant governor George McMillan died at 81 on April 19th; born in Greenville, he served in the state House before becoming lieutenant governor and later started the City Stages music festival—Gov. Kay Ivey said she would lower flags to half-staff once funeral arrangements are made.

The family of Joseph Lee Pettaway filed an appeal last week after a federal judge dismissed their lawsuit against Montgomery following his 2018 death from a police dog bite while working on a maintenance job.

Lawyers claim the city’s policy prevented officers from giving first aid & argue this practice sets a dangerous precedent.
