Freedom Riders: 1961 and the Struggle for Racial Justice Paperback - 2007

by Raymond Arsenault

The author offers a meticulously researched account of the Freedom Rides, one of the most compelling chapters in the history of civil rights. The book paints a harrowing picture of the outpouring of hatred and violence that greeted the Freedom Riders in Alabama and Mississippi.


First line

WHEN IRENE MORGAN BOARDED A GREYHOUND BUS in Hayes Store, Virginia, on July 16, 1944, she had no inkling of what was about to happen-no idea that her trip to Baltimore would alter the course of American history.
