Biography
Councilor Williams is a native of Birmingham, Alabama and grew up in the Crestline neighborhood. He attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, majoring in Finance before returning to Birmingham after graduation. Williams has been a homeowner in Birmingham’s District 2 for nearly a decade and during his time residing in the district, has become an active member of the community and an advocate for change and progress in the district, as well as the entire Birmingham metropolitan area.
Williams started his service to the community through participation in civic groups such as Rotaract, American Cancer Society and Cornerstone Schools of Alabama, as well as serving as President of the Crestline Neighborhood Association where he partnered with residents and community leaders to strategically address and identify opportunities to improve commercial and community development. “As a Birmingham native, I’m excited about our city’s growth and believe District 2’s role is vital to Birmingham’s overall success.” This statement encompasses Councilor Williams’ unchanging beliefs not only in his district, but in the city of Birmingham as a whole.
Williams is also a small business owner. He founded and runs a company that provides medical support and surgical risk mitigation services to local hospitals. In addition, Williams serves as a Deputy Sheriff with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. In 2010, he graduated the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Academy, has served as a Sergeant in the Reserve Unit’s Uniformed Patrol Division and currently serves in the MACC (Metro Area Crime Center). As part of his work with Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, cohesion between all law enforcement agencies in the metro area is one of his mains goals. Williams states that “Law Enforcement does not operate efficiently in silos, as the criminal element does not discriminate between jurisdictions when committing crimes. The immediate sharing of resources and information is paramount to effectively and efficiently solving and preventing crime in real-time.” Councilor Williams is the first APOST certified Law Enforcement officer to ever chair the Public Safety Committee.
Williams is a vocal advocate for equality, transparency, government efficiency, strategic metro focused economic development and governmental cooperation. Williams states that “We will only grow as a city and metro area if we come together on economic development projects. What is good for one of our 32 municipalities is good for all our municipalities. It is time we stop trying to ‘steal’ big box stores and car dealerships from neighboring municipalities into another for a quick, but non-permanent boost to tax rolls. We must come together as municipal metro governments with Jefferson County and the State of Alabama to bring new industry and real job growth to the region”.
When asked what is one thing you would want people to know about Birmingham that have never visited Birmingham or the State, Councilor Williams states “Birmingham has a history of struggling with equality. From fire hoses and police dogs to George Wallace’s infamous stand in front of the school house door. Birmingham has not forgotten its history, yet it has transformed to be a national leader in the discussion of equality.” It is councilor Williams’ personal belief that every citizen is deserving of representation in their government equally. Councilor Williams believes that “Birmingham is a City that has historically struggled with equality, but because of the sacrifices and tireless work of those who seek equality for all people, it is a new day in Birmingham. Regardless of what external or cultural identifying expressions we possess, the one thing that binds us is that we are all deserving of respect and above all, love.”

[more+]Ages 6-8 Triple Threats is a preparatory education program for young people wishing to learn the basics of becoming a “triple threat” musical theatre performer: singing, acting, and dancing. During the week-long camp, students will learn 3-5 production numbers to be performed at the end of the week for friends and family. In preparing for a sharing, students practice ensemble building, discipline, and memorization skills that they can take with them to their scholastic work. This week is all about pop music, from Justin Bieber to Taylor Swift and beyond! The students will be split into 2 groups of 15 students. If you would like to request that your student be placed in the same group as their friend or sibling who may not be the same age, please send us an email at education@redmountaintheatre.org.

[more+]Ages 9-14 Blast Camps are fun, week-long camps in which students put their musical theatre performance skills to the test. Through rehearsals focused on singing, acting, and dancing, students build confidence by rehearsing a short script written specifically for RMT. At the end of the week, they perform in front of a supportive community of family and friends. In preparing for a performance, students learn discipline and memorization skills that they can take with them to their scholastic work. In this week’s camp, Jude has to move to a brand new town with the oddest name – Penny Lane – and he is totally NOT into it. When his parents force him to meet some of the towns interesting characters (a Barber, a Banker, a Fireman, and a Nurse), he learns that if he just gives them a chance, he can get by with a little help from his friends. Penny Lane uses favorite Beatles hits in an original story.

Alabama Triennial 2025: Currents

[more+]Featuring work by 19 artists from across the state, the Alabama Triennial 2025: Currents explores questions of place and identity. Through work that emphasizes movement, journey, mapping, exchange and transference, the exhibition complicates notions of Southern identity as something static or unitary, instead viewing it as a confluence of various currents, constantly in motion, made and remade in relation to what came before.
Currents are directional movement and energy. As natural phenomena in our oceans and atmosphere that gave rise to trade routes and transit corridors, they are reminders of the inextricability of history and culture from the material conditions of place. Yet they are also immaterial, invoking spiritual practices such as channeling, as well as the amalgamation of religious influences common in this region. As directional movement, currents call to mind lineages – of ancestry or heritage – as well as the belief systems that have shaped our environment and material existence. One question guiding this exhibition is: How do we position ourselves in relation to what we inherit?
Finally, although far from comprehensive, the Triennial is intended as a survey of current artistic practices in Alabama. It's of a time and place washed ashore by the past, with one eye fixed on the horizon.
Participating artists are Douglas Pierre Baulos, Daphne Burgess, Merrilee Challiss, E L Chisolm, Soynika Edwards-Bush, Valerie George, Allison Grant, Arielle Gray, Darius Hill, Helga Mendoza, Micah Mermilliod, Joe Minter, Bethany Moody, Celestia Morgan, Miriam Omura, Celeste Amparo Pfau, Millian Giang Pham, Rial Rye and Jennifer Wallace Fields
The Alabama Triennial 2025 was curated by elizabet elliott, Executive Director of Alabama Contemporary Art Center in Mobile; Sydney A. Foster, Montgomery-based creative director and community architect; and AEIVA Curator Hannah Spears.
