Review by Library Journal Review

In a nonviolent protest against lingering segregation, student activists both black and white rode buses through the Deep South in 1961, provoking mob attacks along the way. Archival footage and interviews re-create one hell of a ride. (LJ 10/15/11) (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
