ABSTRACT
Drawing on the sentiments of the 1960s’ civil rights movement, on Friday, August 29, 2014, more than 600 Black people from throughout the country responded to a call for freedom rides to Ferguson, Missouri, after the murder of the unarmed teenager Michael Brown by officer Darren Wilson. A bus of about 40 of us from the New York City tristate area joined this call and took the 15-hour ride to share in the outrage, actions, and demands of local Ferguson activists on the ground.
