“You know, we think about it in the space of, you know, decades. But really, we’re not that far removed from a time period when this Freedom Rides Museum that’s in the old Greyhound bus station when people arrived here in 1961, this was a segregated facility,” said Dorothy Walker, Site Director for the Freedom Rides Museum. “And so we want to look back at how far we’ve come in terms of being able to travel as American citizens with the freedom to go about our daily lives. Particularly when we’re talking about interstate travel, particularly when we’re talking about bus travel, Greyhound buses when we’re talking about train travel, which was very common back then. And then also, a lot of people don’t know that airports were also segregated.”
