Freedom Rider on Civil Rights

Original Freedom Rider talks about the risks associated with a push for civil rights.

Illinois Public Media's Steve Shoemaker talks to Civil Rights Freedom Rider, Reverend Ben Cox. Cox was a 30-year-old minister in 1961 and one of the original 13 Freedom Riders. He made out a will and left it with family before embarking on a bus ride that would prove to be more violent than most imagined.
