Breach at the Harlem Book Fair on C-SPAN2
I’m moderating a panel on the Freedom Rides this Saturday, July 19, at the Harlem Book Fair. The panel runs from 6:15 to 7:15 PM, and will include three Freedom Riders: Helen and Bob Singleton, who are featured on the covers of the book, and Lewis Zuchman. It will also be broadcast live on C-SPAN2, as will the day’s events at the Harlem Book Fair. For more info, here’s a C-SPAN2 programming guide.
Helen and Bob Singleton were college students in Los Angeles, where they still live, at the time of the rides. Lewis Zuchman was a college student in New York. As he recounts in the book, he decided to join the rides after seeing Jackie Robinson and Rider Hank Thomas discussing the rides on a David Susskind TV show.
