Freedom Ride: A Freedom Rider Remembers by Ann Curthoys

4.0

I’m glad I read this. It began with a comprehensive overview of politics in the early 60s, then traced the journey of the original freedom ride and all of the debates, criticism and varied perspectives on the ride. It spent a lot of time assessing reflection and impact of the freedom ride. For me, it was particularly interesting what the response of the Aus National Union of Students was, and Charles Perkins’ view on how it impacted the 1967 referendum. These were only small parts but I find them personally poignant.
