Buses Are a Comin'
Author: Charles Person
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250274206
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
A firsthand exploration of the cost of boarding the bus of change to move America forward—written by one of the Civil Rights Movement's pioneers. At 18, Charles Person was the youngest of the original Freedom Riders, key figures in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement who left Washington, D.C. by bus in 1961, headed for New Orleans. This purposeful mix of black and white, male and female activists—including future Congressman John Lewis, Congress of Racial Equality Director James Farmer, Reverend Benjamin Elton Cox, journalist and pacifist James Peck, and CORE field secretary Genevieve Hughes—set out to discover whether America would abide by a Supreme Court decision that ruled segregation unconstitutional in bus depots, waiting areas, restaurants, and restrooms nationwide. Two buses proceeded through Virginia, North and South Carolina, to Georgia where they were greeted by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and finally to Alabama. There, the Freedom Riders found their answer: No. Southern states would continue to disregard federal law and use violence to enforce racial segregation. One bus was burned to a shell, its riders narrowly escaping; the second, which Charles rode, was set upon by a mob that beat several riders nearly to death. Buses Are a Comin’ provides a front-row view of the struggle to belong in America, as Charles Person accompanies his colleagues off the bus, into the station, into the mob, and into history to help defeat segregation’s violent grip on African American lives. It is also a challenge from a teenager of a previous era to the young people of today: become agents of transformation. Stand firm. Create a more just and moral country where students have a voice, youth can make a difference, and everyone belongs.

Book Description
Charlie's Life (in the North-American-Union) is a primarily fictional account of what the future of the U.S.A. could easily become if "we the people" don't get our @#%@# politicians under control. The North-American-Union is a TRUTHFUL goal of our politicians behind closed doors, (and sometimes openly). Charlie's Life focuses on the world from the viewpoint of a young man as he grows into his teenage years during a time in America's future when the United States turns into the North-American-Union under the rule of an evil Dictator President followed by an equally evil (appointed) Queen. The N. A. U. consists of a plot to turn the U.S.A., CANADA, and MEXICO into one continental nation (modeled after the European-Union). NO MORE BORDERS! One thing that I can promise you is that this story is NOT-AT-ALL what you are expecting. It is NOT simply a story of WAR, DEATH, AND DESTRUCTION! If you are looking for an entertaining book to read that is hard to put down, this is the book for you. Remember. the hero of this book is an early teenager. If you want SEX, or BLOOD and GUTS, you are reading the wrong book! ! ! After reading this book, if you would like to join me in changing our future for the better, read "The Secret", then join me in focusing on living in a nation that has NO interest in Global Domination or in controlling it's people through it's extremely oppressive laws. Join me in focusing on living in a society that is truly FREE, LOVING, and RESPECTFUL of EVERYONE! HAVE A LOVING DAY!
