Police Raid Former Birmingham Brothel, Seize Weapons, June 15 | Meyka

West Midlands Police seized weapons and made immigration arrests after raiding illegal accommodation on Station Street.

Almost a century later, some of my earliest memories about "the news" involve reading The Birmingham News in the honor boxes. For four-and-a-half years I had the opportunity to work, on the digital side of things, with some of the talented people there.

In between, and after, The Birmingham News has always been a part of everything to me.

In one of the earliest editions of The Birmingham News, Rufus Rhodes wrote that "It is the paper of the masses of the people, democratic to the core, the organ of neither clique nor man -- unless it or he be serving Birmingham, Alabama, and the South -- a fearless and independent journal, whose loftiest aspiration is the greatest good to the greatest number."

Whether it always hit those marks, for 134 years, it never lost sight of the goal.
