Here's an interesting PBS project, set for May, that might suit some JRN
students:

A new documentary about the 1961 Freedom Riders is airing this May on PBS.
In conjunction with this air date, PBS is looking for 40 college students
(18-25 yrs) to participate in a reenactment of these historic rides. The
brief application is due, Monday, Jan. 17 (sorry for the short notice) and
can be found at the link below. Please encourage any former students that
you know to apply, we¹d love to have someone reporting on the trip about
their experiences. Thanks for your support!
