About this

The Freedom Riders National Monument in Alabama commemorates a pivotal moment in the American civil rights movement. Established to honor the courage and resolve of the Freedom Riders, this site marks where a group of interracial activists challenged segregation laws by riding buses into the segregated South in 1961. The monument includes the historic Greyhound bus station in Anniston and the site where one of the buses was attacked and burned. It serves as a reminder of the struggle for racial equality and the ongoing journey toward social justice in the United States.
