I was born in Ohio in 1951. As a child looking around me I wonderd why black people could not go to a public bathroom or a restaurant or a library why they had to ride on the back of the bus and couldn't swim in the PUBLIC pool? How unfair. As a child it made me sad. In 1961 we moved to Hawaii where there many ethnic groups of people. Culture shock! Now I was what the locals refered to as houlie. Foreigner. It's not that bad as the people here are so full of Aloha Spirit. Thanks oprah
Thank goodness that every age produces a few fearless people who are willing to die for human rights. Remember the Suffragettes who gained the right for women to vote? Can you imagine women in Muslem countries doing this kind of non-violent protest - driving cars, going to the grocery store unaccompanied by a male relative, going into public buildings where only men are allowed etc etc etc.. They would most surely be killed - the usual method being burned with gasoline or beheading.
I was five years old (5), in 1961 when i saw a young man on Television, saying he would die for the cause of Freedom for all & i know that's great. When laws are unjust Almighty God with God for ever wisdom will intervien & make worng right. Thanks God almighty for protecting our Freedom Riders from all hurt, harm & danger in the time for America to change & make all Human being free, to be a First Class Citizen in the Country in which they are born? Heros of the past is alive & well today. Good
PBS will have the documentary about the Freedom Riders on May 16, 2011. Also for those who didn't get to see it go to Oprah's website and you will get to see excerts from it. I did see it and I cried but at the same time I was very proud. To think that young people of all races and religions risk their lives to fight for equality in the south. You also see true hate in action and it gives you a wake up call.
does anyone know the name of that beautiful song?

I cried while watching this. Sad that I had to leave and wasn't able to finish watching.
Truly inspirational.
Much love and respect from the Philippines.
