In 1961, the Freedom Riders, a brave group of men and women, black and white, young and old, boarded buses, trains and planes headed for the deep South to test the 1960 Supreme Court ruling outlawing segregation in all interstate public facilities.

The 1961 Freedom Riders 40th Reunion will be held on Veteran's Day Weekend, November 8th-11th, 2001, in Jackson, Mississippi. For Freedom Riders, their families, friends and supporters.
