How did a 22-year-old enslaved woman successfully escape from and evade her enslavers—George and Martha Washington—despite a years long manhunt led by the first president of the United States? Today, we celebrate freedom seeker Ona “Onley” Judge.
ALT The Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire commissioned this mural of Ona Judge, which depicts Portsmouth's waterfront as she would have seen it in 1796, after escaping enslavement by the Washingtons. The artist is Manny Ramirez.

Love. Liberty. Legacy. #FreedomRiders - #OTD in 1961, the first Freedom Riders left Washington, D.C. and were scheduled to arrive in New Orleans on May 17.
Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who made bus trips throughout the South protesting segregation by using “whites-only” restrooms and lunch counters at bus stations. The courageous riders endured brutal police officers, enraged bystanders, and violent mobs.
The purpose of the “Freedom Rides” was to challenge the non-enforcement of the United States Supreme Court decisions Morgan v. Virginia (1946) and Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which ruled that segregated public buses were unconstitutional. The Southern states had ignored the rulings and the federal government had done nothing to enforce them.
The Freedom Riders’ heroic nonviolent direct action led the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission to ban segregation in interstate bus travel.
