Freedom Riders

Now that we have discussed and watched the PBS documentary "Freedom Riders" it is your turn to do some research.  You will choose one of the Freedom Riders and do a brief biography of them.  Using Google Slides, please include:

• Name and photo
• Where and when they were born 
• Where they lived 
• How old they were during the Freedom Rides
• Where they attended college
• 3 other facts that you learned 
• A quote from them 

Below is a link to the one that I did.
