Alabama state Sen. Chris Elliott said he plans to introduce a bill to take funding away from the Alabama Department of Archives and History because the department hosted a one-hour presentation on LGBTQ history last month.
“As its name suggests, the Food for Thought program is intended to connect specialists in a wide array of topics with members of the general public who are interested in learning about Alabama’s history,” Murray said in a statement to AL.com last month. “Not every program will be of interest to every Alabamian, but we strive to ensure that Alabamians will find somewhere in our offerings some historical content that is meaningful to them. Our aim is neither indoctrination nor politicization.
The Food for Thought series is sponsored by Friends of the Archives and funded by a grant from the Alabama Humanities Alliance, Murray said. “I really just went over things that are quite black and white,” she said. “It’s just a record of history, and so I find it mind-boggling that anyone would interpret facts as a political agenda.”because federal courts ordered Alabama to redraw its congressional district map for the 2024 election. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled June 8 that Alabama’s current map likely violates the Voting Rights Act because it dilutes the influence of Black voters.
