John,

This week we commemorate the first Freedom Ride leaving Washington DC 62 years ago and heading to New Orleans. Brave Black Americans and brave white Americans sat together in defiance of the Jim Crow segregationist state laws that still reigned in the South.

Through much of 1961, the Freedom Riders faced prejudice, imprisonment, and violent attacks.

Hank has teamed up with South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace to introduce a bipartisan resolution that would award the Freedom Riders the Congressional Gold Medal in recognition of their service to civil rights, equality, and a just rule of law.

If you agree with Hank’s resolution to honor the Freedom Riders and to commemorate their courageous contributions to move our country forward, will you please add your name in support? [[link removed]]

HONOR THE FREEDOM RIDERS » [[link removed]]Thank you, John.
