Twelve Days in May: Freedom Ride 1961

In 1961, a group of brave young people, led by a fiery preacher named James Lawson, embarked on a journey through the Deep South to test the new Civil Rights laws. They were met with violence, hate, and imprisonment, but their courage and determination inspired a nation to take action and bring about change. This is their story, told in vivid detail by award-winning author Larry Dane Brimner.
