Freedom Riders

Freedom Riders

Freedom Riders is the powerful, harrowing, and ultimately inspirational story of six months in 1961 that changed America forever. From May until November 1961, more than 400 black and white Americans risked their lives for simply traveling together on buses and trains as they journeyed through the Deep South.

ONGOING OUTREACH PROJECTS

Reel to Real

Reel to Real

Communities across Wisconsin are using the power of PBS films to address core community needs. Reel to Real helps public and academic libraries host community film screenings and audience discussions with local experts, addressing a wide range of topics such as race and diversity, health care, education, social justice, the arts and civic engagement. This program is a partnership with the Wisconsin Library Association and is made possible by the generous support of UW Health, Alliant Energy and program innovation funding from the UW Extension Chancellor's Office.

Creating Health

Creating Health

In response to viewer interest and the national health debate, Wisconsin Public Television presents Creating Health, an ongoing educational initiative that addresses health issues important to Wisconsin residents. By integrating broadcasts, Web tools, and in-person events, Creating Health seeks to provide information to help guide individuals in making wise health decisions. These events are made possible by the generous support of UW Health and Alliant Energy.
