In Anniston, a KKK mob firebombed the bus, tried to burn the riders alive, then nearly lynched them. In Birmingham & Montgomery they were beaten by mobs with metal pipes and bats. Hospitals refused to treat them. They were continuously harassed and assaulted. They kept going. https://t.co/0VmrarJzTm — PolitiTweet.org
