Basin PBS and Midland College present "FREEDOM RIDERS," a Stanley Nelson Film, in a Special Midland Preview Event, February 2, from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. in the Wagner & Brown Auditorium, Allison Fine Arts Building.
FREEDOM RIDERS tells the story of a courageous band of some 400 civil rights activists — black and white, young and old, male and female, Northern and Southern — who in 1961, risked their lives by deliberately violating Jim Crow laws and traveling together on buses as they journeyed thr...ough the Deep South. Greeted by mob violence and bitter racism along the way, many endured savage beatings and even imprisonment. They called themselves the Freedom Riders, and they managed to bring the president and the entire American public face to face with the challenge of correcting civil rights inequities that plagued the nation.

FREEDOM RIDERS will air on Basin PBS in May. This special full-length FREE preview event is being sponsored by Midland College and the African American Roots Historical Cultural/Arts Council, Inc.
