ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) The old Greyhound bus depot in Anniston is opening for the first time as the Freedom Riders National Monument four years after it was established.
The National Park Service said a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution will be on display as the attraction holds its inaugural opening for visitors on Saturday. The display is about the Poor People s Campaign that drew thousands of people to Washington, D.C., in 1968.
Located about 65 miles east of Birmingham, the monument recognizes the story of activists who set out as “Freedom Riders” six decades ago to test continuing racial segregation and public accommodations on interstate bus lines.

The 93rd Oscar nominations have finally been announced, recognizing films released during a year where movie theaters were largely closed. If you’re looking to catch up on all of the nominees, we’ve compiled a list of every film that was nominated for an Academy Award this year and where to stream them.
Competing for best picture are “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Mank,” “Minari,” “Nomadland,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Sound of Metal,” “The Father” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
The Oscars will be broadcast live on April 25 on ABC. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the only people who will be allowed to attend the event will be the nominees, their guests and the ceremony’s presenters.
