520    Arrested as a Freedom Rider in June of 1961, Carol Ruth 
       Silver, a twenty-two-year-old recent college graduate 
       originally from Massachusetts, spent the next forty days 
       in Mississippi jail cells, including the Maximum Security 
       Unit at the infamous Parchman Prison Farm. She chronicled 
       the events and her experiences on hidden scraps of paper 
       which amazingly she was able to smuggle out. These raw 
       written scraps she fashioned into a manuscript, which has 
       waited, unread for more than fifty years. Freedom Riders 
       were civil rights activists who rode interstate buses into
       the segregated southern United States in 1961 to test the 
       United States Supreme Court rulings outlawing segregation 
       in interstate bus and terminal facilities. Brutality and 
       arrests inflicted on the Riders called national attention 
       to the disregard for federal law and the local violence 
       used to enforce segregation in the southern United States.
       Police arrested Riders for trespassing, unlawful assembly,
       and violating state and local Jim Crow laws, along with 
       other alleged offenses, but they often allowed white mobs 
       to attack the Riders without arrest or intervention. 
       Though a number of books recount the Freedom Rides as part
       of the larger civil rights story, this book offers a 
       heretofore unavailable detailed diary. In a personal essay
       detailing her life before and after the Freedom Rides, 
       Silver explores what led her to join the movement and 
       explains how, galvanized by her actions and those of her 
       compatriots in 1961, she spent her life and career 
       fighting for civil rights.--From publisher description.
