A rigrous and deeply researched history of two specific strands of protest in the long fight for civil rights in the segregated South; primarily the Freedom Riders, but attention is also focussed on the less well remembered "Journey of Reconciliation" where sixteen white and African American activists embarked on a four state wide bus journey to highlight and combat segregation on public transport.
