October 12 • 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Professor of History Kevin M. Kruse will compare and contrast the 1961 Freedom Rides and the 1965 Selma protests to show how the federal response shaped the course of civil rights campaigns, for better and for worse. A reception and open house will follow at Mudd Manuscript Library, where the exhibition “Nobody Turn Us Around: The Freedom Rides and Selma to Montgomery Marches” is currently on display.
