From Colbert King in todays Washington Post:
"On this date in America 50 years ago, two buses arrived in Anniston, Ala. It was Sunday, May 14, 1961. The Lord must have been in his Holy Temple. His presence wasn’t in evidence when those buses carrying Freedom Riders rolled into Anniston’s Greyhound and Trailways bus terminals."
Raymond Arsenault, who is the John Hope Franklin Professor of Southern History at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, described that day in detail in his book, “Freedom Riders.”
You can read the rest here.
Let's thank the many Freedom Riders for their sacrifice and bravery.
God Bless.

I remember March of 1965 in Alabama, as it had a personal impact on me.
You got to tell us somestories ATG, please.
I got stories.
Okay ATG I want- I need - to hear some of those stories.
A story on what topic? I will tell about it, if I haven't already.
Go to my blog and search "Gebhart v Belton (Del.1952)". It is keeping with the topic of the other day.
You might want to set your clock to EDT.
I think I have my clock corrected (I think). I will look at the case.
Thanks
