Seller's Description:
New in new dust jacket. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 304 p. Audience: General/trade. Buses Are a Comin': Memoir of a Freedom Rider by Charles Person with Richard Rooker At eighteen, Charles Person was the youngest of the original Freedom Riders, key figures in the U.S. civil rights movement who left Washington, D.C., by bus in 1961, headed for New Orleans. This purposeful mix of black and white, male and female activists--including future Congressman John Lewis, Congress of Racial Equality Director James Farmer, Reverend Benjamin Elton Cox, journalist, and pacifist James Peck, and CORE field secretary Genevieve Hughes--set out to discover whether America would abide by a Supreme Court decision that ruled segregation unconstitutional in bus depots, waiting areas, restaurants, and restrooms nationwide. Two buses proceeded through Virginia and North and South Carolina to Georgia, where they were greeted by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and finally to Alabama. There the Freedom Riders found their answer: no. Southern states would continue to disregard federal law and use violence to enforce racial segregation. One bus was burned to a shell, its riders narrowly escaping; the second, which Charles rode, was set upon by a mob that beat several riders nearly to death. Buses Are a Comin' provides a front-row view of the struggle to belong in America, as Charles Person accompanies his colleagues off the bus, into the station, into the mob, and into history to help defeat segregation's violent grip on African American lives. It is also a challenge from a teenager of a previous era to the young people of today. Become agents of transformation. Stand firm. Create a more just and moral country where students have a voice, youth can make a difference, and everyone belongs. St. Martin's Press, Hardcover, 1st Edition, 1st Printing, 2021
