A statement from Alabama State University, where Glass was a professor of geography, said Glass died Wednesday.
"The ASU family lost one of its crown jewels today," said President William H. Harris. "Mrs. Glass was the consummate educator, whose life was a shining example of service, courage and commitment. She will be truly missed."
Glass was one of a group of women who helped launch the bus boycott in Montgomery and bring an end to segregation of public transportation in the South. She also was secretary of the Women's Political Council, a group that spread the word through the Black community in Montgomery about the boycott.
