On May 4, a new interactive exhibit a vintage Greyhound bus rolled into the Freedom Rides Museum in Montgomery, Alabama.
For a decade, the museum has told the stories of the 400-plus men and women, Black and white,  who boarded interstate buses headed south in the summer of 1961. Their goal was to compel leaders to enforce Supreme Court decisions banning segregation on buses and in transportation facilities throughout the United States.
