Recently, Pete Davis, who I spent some time with last summer in Cambridge was able to participate in the 2011 Student Freedom Rides with 40 others and was spreading the word about the CommonPlace project we’re currently working on. Right on Pete! 

(Also: Pete is a funny dude and even does some standup on the side)

Last night PBS aired Stanley Nelson’s documentary Freedom Riders about the men and women who refused to ride segregated and traveled together on trains and buses during the Jim Crow era South.
