Mayor’s Take highlights 70th anniversary of Montgomery bus boycott and free public commemoration
Darryl Hall and Mayor Steven dedicated a segment to the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery bus boycott, urging listeners to participate in commemorations and civic-education events.

Steven directed listeners to mgmboybusboycott.com for a full schedule and summarized recent and upcoming programming: a service at Saint Paul AME Church featuring Latasha Brown of Black Voters Matter, symposiums and youth events earlier in the week, a Friday reenactment of the mass meeting where leaders chose Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to head the Montgomery Improvement Association, and a Saturday gala commemorating the start of the 381-day boycott. Steven said those events are “all ages, all free to the public” and encouraged attendance.

Steven named reverend Dr. Otis Moss III of Chicago as a guest speaker for the reenactment and noted a mass choir and guest gospel artist will perform. He framed the anniversary as an opportunity for civic education and voter engagement, saying the commemoration connects ‘‘the pews to the polls’’ and asking younger residents (roughly ages 12–25, in the hosts’ remarks) to learn the history and participate.

Hosts also discussed the broad set of community organizations and leaders who were central to the original boycott — naming Mrs. Rosa Parks, Dr. King, attorney Fred Gray, Joanne Robinson and local churches — and emphasized the boycott’s legacy for Montgomery and the South.

The broadcast did not include official program times beyond the site reference nor list funding sources for the events. Listeners were given a website for the full schedule and told most programs are free and open to the public.
