One of the most inhumane stories ever -- 1962 "Reverse Freedom Rides" - Southern segregationists come up with a scheme to retaliate against northern liberals b/c of the Freedom Rides of 1961 by tricking 200+ Blacks to move from the South to the North.

Thanks @NPRCodeSwitch for teaching me something I didn't know - "Reverse Freedom Rides" of 1962 "where Southern segregationists decided to strike back, using unsuspecting black families as pawns" b/c of Freedom Rides conducted in South in 1961. npr.org/2019/12/10/786…
I appreciate @NPRCodeSwitch starting at 37:15 mark the racist parallel you drew between the leaders of "Reverse Freedom Rides" movement & @realDonaldTrump saying he wants to ship undocumented immigrants to sanctuary cities. Wake up America! npr.org/2019/12/10/786…
@NPRCodeSwitch @realDonaldTrump '@realDonaldTrump's America - MAGA - I can envision Trump being a leader of a White Citizens Council in a southern city - Circa 1962 features.wgbhnews.org/reverse-freedo… 
@NPRCodeSwitch @realDonaldTrump Reading Clive Webb's "A Cheap Trafficking in Human Misery: The Reverse Freedom Rides of 1962."
@NPRCodeSwitch @realDonaldTrump Clive Webb's 23 page article on "The Reverse Freedom Rides of 1962" that appeared in @jnlamstudies is exceptional - Learned about the systemic forces in Southern Agriculture that led to high unemployment rates among Southern Blacks in the 1960s.
