The Atlanta office of Thompson Hine on April 16 hosted a reception for members of the original 13 Freedom Riders: the men and women who were the first, in 1961, to travel on a bus through the South and protest segregation. The event, titled “Reflections on a Journey for Equality,” served as a kickoff for a weekend-long celebration of the Freedom Riders in Atlanta.
Henry “Hank” Thomas shared remembrances of that journey, including an attack on their bus in Anniston, Ala., and thoughts about how the civil rights movement has shaped today’s society.
