I’m a huge Star Wars fan. I saw the first movie at the drive-in in my pajamas. I saw the second/third at the mall theater with my friends. I’ve watched literally every show/movie in the genre.

But today represents something far more important. On this day in 1961, the Freedom Riders began one of the most important civil rights movements in America’s history. May the force be with them.

How far we have come where a black and white Alabama State Troopers stand side by side to make sure the Pettis bridge is safe for the crossers.

And yet, so far to go.

I started Freedom Libraries, this week and it’s a great book to promote for . Really a fascinating look into the 1960s, the US South, and Education.
