Mugshots of Freedom Riders. Two Supreme Court decisions -one in 1946 the other in 1960- ruled it unconstitutional to segregate public buses. The 1960 ruling desegregated common areas in terminals where interstate buses stopped. Yet segregation continued in some areas. In 1961 the Freedom Riders, an integrated group, protested this by peacefully doing what they were legally allowed to do. Riding the buses and existing in the terminals. There were arrests. People were held without bail. Change eventually came

On May 4, 1961 the original 13 Freedom Riders left Washington, D.C. on a Greyhound bus.Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who made bus trips throughout the American South protesting segregated terminals by using “whites-only” restrooms and lunch counters at bus stations. The group was often confronted by police officers, bystanders, and violent counter-protestors.

Georgia's 2022 Senate runoff was remarkable and historic in so many ways, as much about Raphael Warnock's blessed win as about his opponent, all the people who voted, and most significantly, the rural counties that voted blue.

Our Freedom Riders are truly the heroes and she-roes.

We must make them proud for what they gave up for our freedom today that is being threatened.
