AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Freedom Riders: The Movement

[towringer]

I watched this doc on 16May, and I enjoyed it. I'm an AA . One thing missing from most of these docs (including this one) are interviews from the "other side". From the klansmen who threw the punches and were never caught, the Southern cops who stood aside while the Freedom Riders were assaulted, etc. I know the Freedom Riders look back with pride at what they did. Do the members of the other side look back with pride & tell their children about it? I don't believe they're all dead yet.

LOL, Those idiots aren't coming in front of the camera. They're probably embarrassed.

Thank you Lord for every one of these people. Just trying to understand how brave they had to be is incomprehensible. They are heroes! Bless them!!!
