May was an important month for the Freedom Rides. Through its social media accounts and website, Crossroads will follow the path of the first buses to head south with stories of the young men and women determined to effect change and the dangers faced along the way. You’ll hear from Ricardo Khan; learn more about a few of the participants and organizers, including activist and co-founder of SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee), Diane Nash; and we’ll wrap up with a special event in honor of the late Congressman, and former Freedom Rider, John R. Lewis.
