2011 Student Freedom Ride
Between May and December of 1961, 436 Freedom Riders took part in more than sixty Rides. They had various points of origination and termination, but all Riders had the same goals: to test and challenge segregated travel facilities throughout the South, and awaken the nation's conscience to the reality and injustice of segregation.
Like the very first Freedom Ride in 1961, the 2011 Student Freedom Ride will begin in Washington, DC. The journey will kick off with a series of events in partnership with many original Freedom Riders who will be gathered for 50th anniversary events. Then the ten-day journey will take students from Washington to Jackson, Mississippi.
WQED is proud to bring you the Freedom Riders documentary and more educational opportunities in the Spring of 2011.
The opportunity of for students 18-25. For more information or to apply visit http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/freedomriders/2011/?page_id=2
Application deadline: January 17, 2011
