Ahead of Anniversary: Freedom Riders Remember
April 7, 2011 by
Fifty years ago this May, 13 people boarded a bus in Washington, D.C. The Freedom Riders, as they are called, challenged segregation on buses and in waiting rooms throughout the South. Some of those riders are using their experiences to motivate students today - to show them that the actions of one person can make a difference.
