Rally to oppose immigration law

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Two Spanish language radio hosts are joining NAACP leaders for a rally on Saturday in Birmingham to protest the state's tough crackdown on illegal immigration.

The Birmingham News reports that Jose Antonio Castro and Orlando Rosa of La Jefa radio are in the middle of a 14-day walk across the state to oppose the law. The pair will meet with leaders from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Saturday.

First, they will place flowers on the grave of the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. The civil rights icon died in October at age 89.

From there, they will march to Kelly Ingram Park for the rally.

Judges have blocked parts of the immigration law, considered the nation's toughest.
