The Ride 2026: Back on the Freedom Ride Route
A 12-day civic and cultural caravan will retrace the 1961 Freedom Ride route from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans in October 2026.
Field notes
The project maps its 2026 program onto a specific historical route, with daily stops from Washington, D.C., through Richmond, Greensboro, Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Jackson, and New Orleans. The page distinguishes individual riders from organizational delegations and sponsors: participants can purchase a six-day leg or full journey, while partner levels allocate two to ten seats and sponsor levels fund buses, events, and the film. The itinerary also identifies HBCU campuses, historic churches, and civil-rights sites as part of the experience.
