"When 29 students boarded a bus outside the University of Sydney on a summer
night in February 1965, they had no idea the trip would become a defining
moment for race relations in Australia.
Inspired by the civil rights movement in the United States, they spent two
weeks travelling country New South Wales, calling out racism in towns where
cinemas, pools, clubs and shops were segregated or off-limits to Aboriginal
people.
The trip became known as the Freedom Ride. Sixty years on, two of the original
riders and their descendants spoke to
Guardian Australia about its enduring
legacy."
