Freedom Riders are the powerful, tragic, and ultimately inspiring story of six months in 1961 that changed America forever.
From May to November 1961, more than 400 black and white Americans risked their lives—many were brutally beaten and imprisoned—just to travel together on buses and trains across the Deep South.
The Freedom Riders willfully violated Jim Crow laws and encountered intense racism and mob violence in the process, severely testing their faith in nonviolent activism.
