Day 1 of the ACU Freedom Ride starts in Abilene, TX at 7:00 am on May 15, 2011 with our departure from the Williams Performing Arts Center. Almost 50 years to the day of the first Freedom Ride.
Our day ends, twelve hours later, with our arrival in Memphis.
On our way to Memphis we stop in Little Rock, Arkansas at Little Rock Central High School where in 1957, in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education, the Little Rock Nine bravely challenged segregation and hostile crowds. The nine students were escorted into the school for an entire year by federal troops.
