Twelve Days in May

On May 4, 1961, a diverse group of thirteen activists set out on a twelve-day journey from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans to challenge the unlawful segregation on interstate buses and at bus stations. Known as the Freedom Riders, their mission aims to spotlight the failure to enforce civil rights laws. However, as they venture deeper into the South, their peaceful protest meets escalating violence, highlighting the tensions of the civil rights movement. This audiobook recounts their courageous efforts and the impact of their struggle.
