Read more Authors Note by Christopher Paul Curtis Though they were turbulent times, Ive always felt the late sixties were a halcyon period of American history. An era most nobly represented by the Freedom Riders, a group of courageous young African-American and white people who put their lives on the line for the civil rights of all Americans. Ive seen almost no evidence of that spirit since. Imagine my surprise and joy as I watched recent news reports of the resurgence of that spirit through the Black Lives Matter movement.
