2011 Student Freedom Ride

From May 6 to May 16, I participated in the 2011 Student Freedom Ride with 39 other college students. During the ride, we retraced the original freedom riders path from Washington D.C. to New Orleans, Louisiana. Along the way, we discussed the legacy of the movement on contemporary American society and the role that we can play in creating a better future.


Along the way, I tracked my experiences through twitter, facebook, and other social media outlets. Here are links to that information!
