NOBILO: We end tonight's show with a big change in the U.S. state of Alabama an election victory of historic proportions. The city of Montgomery will have its first Black Mayor since it was founded back in 1819. That is the same city that was at the cradle of the civil rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had his famous Sel Mart a Montgomery Marches back in 1965 and met with brutal police violence and led to the Voting Rights Act. It's also where Rosa Parks have had her bus boycott in 1955. The city is 60 percent African-American according to a local census. Critical media says Steven Reed won the election with an overwhelming majority. His opponent, David Woods, said he would work with the Mayor to be to support him and to bring Montgomery together as a united city. Reed spoke of the significance of the moment.</s>STEVEN REED, MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, MAYOR-ELECT: We are thankful and grateful for everything. Let it go far beyond Montgomery and let it go far beyond Alabama and let it go far beyond this nation. We made a statement here tonight--</s>NOBILO: That's THE BRIEF. I'm Bianca Nobilo. And "WORLD SPORT" is next.
