Freedom Riders Panel
Join us for a discussion among four Freedom Riders — Dion Diamond, Joan Browning, Dr. Lenora Taitt-Magubane, and Dr. Bernard LaFayette Jr. — as they speak about their experiences challenging segregation across the American South. This panel of civil rights activists will be moderated by Dr. Carmaletta Williams, Executive Director of the Black Archives of Mid-America.
