JFK Library: southern White Citizens Councils started their so-called "Reverse Freedom Rides,"...

[demmiblue]

To embarrass Northern liberals and humiliate Black people, southern White Citizens Councils started their so-called "Reverse Freedom Rides," giving Black people one-way tickets to northern cities with false promises of jobs, housing, and better lives.

The Kennedy White House received mail from leaders in the targeted states, asking the federal government to intervene in the “cruel merciless hoax” and “their traffic in human lives and misery.”

3. Exactly what DeSantis & Abbott are doing...

its actually illegal under US Code to knowingly transport immigrants around the US regardless of their present status. Since they appear to have temporary legal status here, it's trafficking. They are moving them from where group and family's or sponsor's have access to them.

4. Looks like May 22, 1962.

Is this where Abbott and DeSatan got the idea? The new Jim Crow? Or a new war between the states? Would they keep the immigrants if they could own them and make them do all the work without pay while they sit in their plantation houses sipping whiskey and counting their money?

Jim Crow laws were enforced until 1965.

9. I suppose if someone were to mention this to DeSantis & Abbot they'd whine about CRT

7. Indict Abbott and DeSantis.

Kidnapping is still illegal, I presume.

Many, many counts. Go away for a long time. See ya later, gator. After while crocodile.
