Ribbon Cutting for the Freedom Riders National Monument
Please join us for a ribbon-cutting celebration for the Freedom Riders National Monument!
The Freedom Riders National Monument is a United States National Monument in Anniston, Alabama established by President Barack Obama in January 2017 to preserve and commemorate the Freedom Riders during the Civil Rights Movement. The monument is administered by the National Park Service.
The monument includes the former Greyhound Bus Station located at 1031 Gurnee Avenue and the place where the bus was firebombed about six miles outside of the town on State Route 202, two sites where the Freedom Riders were attacked by segregationist mobs.
