The Reverse Freedom Rides: A Cruel Twist on the Great Migration | Great Migrations

In this clip from PBS's Great Migrations, hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., learn about the Reverse Freedom Rides of the 1960s—a response by pro-segregationist groups aiming to undermine the Civil Rights Movement. Organized by the White Citizens Council in New Orleans, the rides lured Black Southerners onto buses bound for Northern cities with false promises of jobs and housing. Upon arrival in cities like New York, Cleveland, and Chicago, migrants were left stranded with no support, highlighting the racial and economic challenges they continued to face despite escaping Southern apartheid. The incident exposed the limits of Northern liberalism and added to the frustrations of Black communities seeking justice and equality during the Civil Rights era. #GreatMigrations #HenryLouisGates #ReverseFreedomRides #CivilRightsMovement #pbs This program is made possible by viewers like you.
