Project Description
The Historic Freedom Rides of 1961, which end in violence at the Greyhound Bus Station in Montgomery, Alabama, are being immortalized at the site. We present the building as a key artifact of the civil rights movement and engage the exterior with an 18-inch porcelain enamel timeline, wrapping two sides of the structure and interacting with a four-window rear-illuminated image and quote treatment. It provides a daily breakdown of the Rides themselves and profiles of the Freedom Riders, state and national political figures, and local law enforcement officals.
