FREEDOM RIDERS WERE NOT ALWAYS WELCOME.

JAIL NO BAIL

TALLAHASSEE WAS THE FIRST CITY TO IMPLIMENT "JAIL NO BAIL" TOWARD FREEDOM RIDERS.    

freedom  v.s.  k.k.k.

FREEDOM RIDERS WERE ATTACKED AND HECKLED BY THE K.K.K.   

HELPER'S

FREEDOM RIDERS WERE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE DOING THE RIGHT THING.  THEY WERE SUPPORTED BY C.O.R.E. 

THE TRAGEDY OF A LIFE TIME

AFTER THE FREEDOM RIDERS BUS WAS BLOWN UP, THEY WALKED FROM MISSISSIPPI TO ALABAMA.

After they walked from Mississippi to Alabama they were greeted bye a nice crowd of over 1,000 armed men ready to attack, it was heart breaking.

THE TRAGEDY OF A LIFETIME Continued

Jim Zwerg was the injured man in the previous slide.

GUESS HOW MANY FREEDOM RIDERS WERE JAILED IN MISSISSIPPI

Guess how many Freedom Riders were jailed in Tallahassee

All right, lets get back on track

Where did the Freedom Riders orginate?

Washington D.C.

Freedom Riders helped segregation to be noticeable, that it might not be the best thing in the World.  

 Who started the Freedom Riders?

SOME WHITE GUY???

James L. Farmer, Jr.   

 AND NO HE WASNOT WHITE!!!

Anyway

What I'm trying to say is... 

People can make differences 

Human's

Big or small

 FREEDOM RIDERS MADE A DIFFRENCE.
