Whiteside is one of 40 students who were chosen for the 2011 Student Freedom Ride by PBS' venerable documentary program, American Experience, which is marking the 50th anniversary of those seminal bus trips. The students are traveling with some of the original 1961 Freedom Riders on a 10-day route from Washington, D. C. to New Orleans facilitating an intergenerational conversation about civic engagement, what it means, what has changed since 1961, and what inspires young people to “get on the bus.” To see a story about Kaitlyn in this month's Ivan Allen College newsletter, click here.
