Montgomery City Leaders Announce New Garden in West Montgomeryby Alabama News Network StaffA street corner in Montgomery that is a part of the city’s civil rights history is getting a spruce-up. Mayor Steven Reed, the Montgomery Clean City Commission and others are announcing the new “St. Jude Sculptural Corner Garden.” It’s at the corner of Oak Street and West Fairview Avenue. “It symbolizes what people marched for, for the freedoms that we have today and for some of the freedoms that we are still fighting for,” Montgomery city community development director Desmond Wilson said. That’s the date in 1965 that marchers were at St. Jude as they finished their journey to the Alabama Capitol.
