2/10/2026 - The Alabama Department of Archives & History (ADAH) will continue its 2026 Food for Thought lunchtime lecture series on Thursday, February 19, at 12:00pm CT. The program will serve as a retrospective on the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which ended with the desegregation of the city's public bus system in December 1956. The program will also reflect on a symposium hosted by the ADAH in the thirtieth anniversary year of the end of the boycott, in February 1986. Dr. Edwin C. Bridges, then-director of the ADAH, moderated the 1986 symposium. Bridges will again moderate the 2026 panel discussion, which will feature Mills Thornton, a panelist at the 1986 symposium; David Azbell, son of symposium panelist Joe Azbell; and Richard Bailey, who experienced the symposium as a member of the audience. Azbell, Bailey, and Thornton will reflect on video clips from the symposium and discuss the legacy of the boycott.
