Fifty years ago today a small group of African-American and white students boarded buses for the deep south to protest segregated interstate travel. It turned into a national movement for equality that Temple professor John Raines, then a 26 year-old theology student, knew he had to join: "This was the beginning of a fire storm actually. It was the beginning of something astonishing. This is the first time that black and white, northern and southern people, began to get together and fight together to bring down legalized segregation."
