Freedom Riders


Anybody going to watch this? A little known fact: my cousin, Ray Arsenault, literally wrote the book on the Freedom riders, and by that I mean the book that this series is based on. He has been on Fresh Air, and was recently on Oprah, and my guess is he will get airtime in this. All kinfolk boasting aside, it does look like an interesting documentary.

Looks compelling; Jay please set my TiVo through your interwebs.

Joe, you didn't even mention that your cousin wrote a book called The Wild Ass of the Ozarks, which is my new favorite phrase.

Very cool. I'm sure I'll be showing this in my classes at some point in time.

Jay said...

Cool!

Last time you let me set your TiVo to record The Super bowl, you wound up with 6 1/2 seasons of Desperate Housewives. Are you sure?

Looks cool in spite of the author's shady family associations.
