Film and Discussion - Freedom Riders      
Thursday, June 26
6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

 

Freedom Riders is the powerful, harrowing and ultimately inspirational story of six months in 1961 that changed America forever.

From May until November 1961, more than 400 black and white Americans risked their lives - and many endured savage beatings

and imprisonment - for simply traveling together on buses and trains

as they journeyed through the Deep South.

Deliberately violating Jim Crow laws, the Freedom Riders met with  

bitter racism and mob violence along the way, sorely testing their

belief in nonviolent activism.
