A photo that was tucked away for years is now on display for the first time. It depicts activists involved in the Journey of Reconciliation, which inspired the Freedom Rides.
The historic image features the interracial group of men who traveled for two weeks back in 1947. They were protesting segregated seating on buses across the upper south.
“As far as we know, over the last 75 years, there’s only been one photograph of some of the members of that group,” Walker added. “Through the diligent research of someone who came across this actually kind of accidentally, we have a new photograph showing members of the Journey of Reconciliation, as they were leaving on that journey 75 years ago and we’re delighted to be unveiling this new photograph,” Walker said.
