This is one of my two photos that were juried in this year!
This is the Freedom Rides Museum reflected in the windshield of a restored bus of the same era as the ones that carried Freedom Riders to the South to help desegregate mass transit, including bus stations.
When the riders arrived at the Montgomery station, police were intentionally looking the other way, allowing Klansmen to attack the riders.
