Welcome to Breach of Peace
Breach of Peace is a book about the 1961 Mississippi Freedom Riders, a photo-history told in images old and new. The book features new portraits of 80 Riders and the mug shots of all 328 Riders arrested in Jackson that year, along with excerpts of interviews with the featured Riders.
The book is available for pre-order at Amazon and elsewhere online. It will be in stores soon.
In talking to the Freedom Riders and doing research, I collected a great deal of material that did not fit in the book — excerpts from interviews with Riders, documents they saved, government memos, archival newspaper coverage. I am going to be publishing all that on this site, in an ongoing effort to document this remarkable episode in American history.
