Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:I’m a huge Star Wars fan. I saw the first movie at the drive-in in my pajamas. I saw the second/third at the mall theater with my friends. I’ve watched literally every show/movie in the genre.But today represents something far more important. On this day in 1961, the Freedom Riders began one of the most important civil rights movements in America’s history. May the force be with them.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FreedomRiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreedomRiders</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/AmericanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanHistory</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SystemicRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SystemicRacism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/MayThe4thBeWithYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MayThe4thBeWithYou</a>
