60 years ago, a group of 400 men and women rode buses through the segregated South to challenge the lack of enforcement of the 1960 Supreme Court decision that banned the segregation of interstate transportation facilities.
This week, one of these individuals will be joining a multigenerational set of Orange County activists as they commemorate the anniversary of the Freedom Rides.
On Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., the Orange County Community Remembrance Coalition is hosting a virtual program in collaboration with Carolina K-12 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Freedom Rides and discuss the current state of the civil rights movement in the United States.
As the country celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Freedom Riders beginning their bus trips through the American South to challenge racism and Jim Crow laws, a community group is preparing a panel to discuss the movement’s legacy.
Community activist Braxton Foushee and Paris Miller of the Orange County Community Remembrance Coalition join 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell to preview the upcoming event and share how they view not just the impact of the Freedom Riders, but the local efforts in civil rights movement during the 1960s.

The University Commission on History, Race and a Way Forward and UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are working together to honor the approximately 120 enslaved people buried in Barbee Cemetery at the Rizzo Center in Meadowmont.
“One of the commission’s overarching concerns is to change the way that the story of slavery is told and reaffirm the humanity of the people held in bondage. The Barbees and the people they enslaved played an important role in the early history of the University and greater community,” said Jim Leloudis, commission co-chair, professor of history and Peter T. Grauer Associate Dean for Honors Carolina.
