Freedom Riders Tour

I am proud to say that I have 50 years of experience commemorating historic civil right events in America I had a vision long ago that I needed to expose and teach the true history of our past to future generations. As I reflect today on the death of Emmitt Till in 1955, history flashes before my very eyes. I will not forge the lynching which summoned me to Burr Cemetery in Chicago, the burial ground of Till’s remains and many other victims of lynching and killing during the Jim Crow era.

The purpose of the Freedom Riders organization is educational intent. The organization and Freedom Riders will reenact the 1961 original Freedom ride through four states: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. The tour for the young Dallas Freedom Riders has provided life changing opportunities by allowing them to experience real  people, places and events, and make connections with others commemorating 2013 historical events. The 2014 tour will reflect on the past killings of the three civil right workers during freedom summer in Mississippi and the signing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by Former President Lyndon Johnson. The Rider will travel to Washington D.C. to visit the office (hopefully with President Obama) where President Johnson signed that bill. The tour will also include attending the STEM Conference as well as visiting the Senate, Congress, Lincoln Mall, and the offices of Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson and Congressman John Lewis.

I am asking the community to help sponsor and support the Freedom Riders tour to Washington D.C. this elite group will reenact Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and committee of seven students to witness the signing of that Civil Rights Bill. The Budget is set at $10,000,00

All donations are tax deductible. Checks are made to: Hip Hop Gov. /Freedom Riders.
