Freedom Ride:
In 1961, Moses J. Newson was covering the historic Freedom Rides of civil rights activists in the South. On one such ride, a mob of angry whites firebombed a bus in Anniston, Ala. Newson and his fellow riders escaped, but his camera, left, was burned in the fire. Newson continued to report. "Black newspapers were born to fight for freedom and to inspire people," he said. |
