Bernice Johnson Reagon | Sweet Honey in the Rock: Raise Your Voice
A quote from our founder Stanley Nelson on the passing of Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon: “I am sad to learn about the passing of Bernice Johnson Reagon. I was honored to profile her work as founder of the a capella group Sweet Honey in the Rock, which she described as ‘a Black woman’s voice in the universe’ in my 2005 documentary 'Sweet Honey in the Rock: Raise Your Voice' for PBS American Masters. She will be remembered for her work as a singer, activist, and organizer and as a singular source of truth and inspiration. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and admirers. May she rest in power.”

"The people that took a seat on these buses, that went to jail in Jackson, that went to Parchman, they were never the same... The Freedom Ride created an unbelievable sense: Yes, we will make it. Yes, we will survive. And that nothing, but nothing, was going to stop this movement." - Rep. John Lewis, Freedom Rider
Take a trip with us through history to witness the trials and triumphs of the Freedom Riders.
From Emmy and Peabody award-winning director Stanley Nelson, Freedom Riders is a testimony of the times and a chronology of a movement.
