Viewing and Discussion of Freedom Riders

Join the Museum of Florida History for a viewing and discussion of Freedom Riders. The film tells the moving and suspenseful story of demonstrators who rode buses into the Deep South and risked violence as local authorities ignored or encouraged attacks.
The film is part of the Created Equal Film series from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Tallahassee showings are a collaboration between the John. G. Riley Museum, the Museum of Florida History, the Florida Historic Capitol Museum and the Knott House Museum. The series is sponsored by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Freedom Riders ties directly into the Civil Rights in the Sunshine State exhibit. People can pre-order lunch from the Egg or bring their own lunches for the noontime discussion in the Gallery for Innovation and the Arts.
