The Daily Call has uncovered a horrible practice of the city of Montgomery, Ala. The city has demolished hundreds of homes in poorer, primarily African American parts of the city, many of them deemed "unsafe" but many are perfectly habitable. One man's home was in the process of being built when they demolished it.

Read about it here. Visit Castle Coalition, a group fighting this abuse of eminent domain law.
