Utah's Freedom Riders

Website: Click to view
Length: 56 minutes.
Released: May 16th, 2011

Fifty years ago, the nation's newspapers were filled with headlines about the civil rights conflict igniting the South.  The fever would spread, jumping state lines, race, color and creed.  Soon, freedom riders were found in every state of the nation - including Utah.

Produced in conjunction with American Experience: Freedom Riders, Utah's Freedom Riders highlights the contributions many Utahns have made toward creating a more just and equitable society. The half-hour Utah NOW special airs immediately following Freedom Riders at 9:00 p.m. on May 16.
