Alabama State University removed the name of a KKK member from a dorm and renamed it for a leader in the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Montgomery’s first Black mayor wants the street named for a local civil rights leader.

The Alabama attorney general's office says Montgomery owes a $25,000 fine for changing the name of a street commemorating Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Claudette Colvin refused to give up her bus seat to a white woman in Montgomery, Ala., in March 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks. Now 82, she says that justice from the court system is overdue.
