The historic Montgomery Bus Station, which houses the Freedom Rides Museum, is off the DOGE chopping block, according to U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala.

Britt told AL.com on Monday that the bus station will not be sold according to communications with Trump’s administration.

In 1961, Freedom Riders were attacked at the bus station by white supremacists during the civil rights movement.

“I have been in communication with the Administration and this has been resolved,” Britt said. “The Montgomery Bus Station and Freedom Rides Museum will not be on GSA’s non-core list.”

On March 4, the U.S. General Services Administration released a list of 400 “non-core” federal buildings and properties the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would sell to cut costs.

Although the GSA removed the list from their website a day later, the agency has not republished an official account of disposable properties verifying if the Montgomery Bus Station has been removed.

Prior to Britt’s statement, Alabama’s two Democratic lawmakers spoke out against the list and DOGE’s actions for endangering civil rights history.

Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Selma, and Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Mobile, sent a joint letter to the GSA on March 6 urging the agency to remove the museum from the list.

“The museum serves as an essential historical landmark that not only honors the legacy of the Freedom Riders but also educates the public about our nation’s struggle for equality and justice,” they wrote. “Given its historical and cultural significance, we strongly encourage the GSA to remove the Freedom Rides Museum from the list. It is crucial that we preserve such landmarks, which are integral to understanding our shared history.”

Figures’ office said they were working with Britt to resolve the issue but still wanted an official response from the White House or GSA that the bus station was safe.

Sewell and Figures continued voicing opposition to the historic landmark’s potential sale over the weekend accusing the Trump administration of attempting to erase civil rights history.

The two gave speeches over the weekend as they participated in the commemoration of another historic civil rights moment, the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

Bloody Sunday is named after the brutal beatings 600 protesters were subjected to by Alabama State Troopers and sheriff’s deputies as the demonstrators marched from Selma to Montgomery.

Thousands from across the country, both young people and elders from the era, again filled the streets of Selma on Sunday to walk across Edmund Pettus Bridge to honor the history and continued fight for civil rights.

According to the Montgomery Advertiser, Figures and Sewell are planning to introduce legislation requiring congressional approval before a historic building owned by the federal government could be sold.

“I think generally, what that’s going to look like — once we go back to Washington to draft it out — is that when a building has historical significance, particularly civil rights significance, and is a building that this country has determined its historical significance by virtue of placing it on the National Register of Historic Places, no single authority should be able to dispose of that,” Figures told the paper. “I believe the language that we will ultimately settle on will be that it will require congressional approval before a building can be sold after it has already received this designation.”
