Product Details
From the book: “Crowds of people streamed in and out of the main bus station in Washington, D.C. It seemed to be a typical day for hundreds of travelers. But for thirteen people—seven of them black, six of them white—this day was far from ordinary. It was May 4, 1961. These thirteen men and women were setting out to challenge the segregationist laws that had existed in the South for nearly a hundred years. They were the vanguard of a revolution that would eventually crush an old order. History remembers them as the freedom riders.”
The book contains pictures and illustrations, some of which depict the violence of the times when riders and their supporters were attacked and beaten.
