Murray, KY – PBS's American Experience special "Freedom Riders" takes 40 college students from across the country and documents their experiences as they retrace the 1961 freedom rides from Washington D.C. to New Orleans. Murray State University senior John Walker took the trip. Seth Helton provides a snap shot of Walker and what drew him to participate in the project.
