Hillary Clinton is set to headline a two-day event marking the 60th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott next week, when she's scheduled to give the keynote speech during a stop at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church. The speech is part of a tour organized by the National Bar Association to commemorate the civil rights movement.

Clinton's appearance in Alabama will be her second since declaring her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president. She was in Hoover last month to give a speech before the Alabama Democratic Conference convention.

The former secretary of state is scheduled to speak at 11 a.m. Dec. 1. Other speakers include Alabama attorney Fred Gray, Sr., who represented civil rights heroine Rosa Parks and Montgomery Bus Boycott protesters; Paulette Brown, an attorney and the first black woman to head the American Bar Association; Benjamin Crump, the current NBA president and the attorney for the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown; Dr. Glenda Baskin Glover, president of Tennessee State University and international first vice president of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority; U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham; and the Rev. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
