The saga of the Freedom Rides is an improbable, almost unbelievable story. In the course of six months in 1961, four hundred and fifty Freedom Riders expanded the realm of the possible in American politics, redefining the limits of dissent and setting the stage for the civil rights movement. In this new version of his encyclopedic Freedom Riders, Raymond Arsenault offers a significantly condensed and tautly written account. With characters and plot lines rivaling those of the most imaginative fiction, this is a tale of heroic sacrifice and unexpected triumph. Arsenault recounts how a group of volunteers--blacks and whites--came together to travel from Washington DC through the Deep South, defying Jim Crow laws in buses and terminals and putting their lives on the line for racial justice. News photographers captured the violence in Montgomery, shocking the nation and sparking a crisis in the Kennedy administration. Here are the key players--their fears and courage, their determination and second thoughts, and the agonizing choices they faced as they took on Jim Crow--and triumphed.

Winner of the Owsley Prize

Publication is timed to coincide with the airing of the American Experience miniseries documenting the Freedom Rides

--Eric Foner, The New York Times Book Review

"Authoritative, compelling history."
--William Grimes, The New York Times

"For those interested in understanding 20th-century America, this is an essential book."

"Arsenault's record of strategy sessions, church vigils, bloody assaults, mass arrests, political maneuverings and personal anguish captures the mood and the turmoil, the excitement and the confusion of the movement and the time."

Too harsh on my sensitive skin for daily use
This cleanser contains a variety of emollient and moisturizing oils, but it also contains potassium hydroxide, which indicates saponification, a process that turns oil into soap. While it has the appearance of being an oily liquid, it foams up nicely on wet skin to create a luxurious lather. It has a fresh, clean soapy scent. I can't quite place it, but it reminds me of something from a long time ago. It is a little powdery and perhaps more of a mature scent, but I really like how clean it smells. Unfortunately, I find it to be quite harsh on my skin, which is likely a result of the saponification of the oils. One day of use here and there will be fine for me, but daily use makes my skin quite dry. In fact, it makes my skin squeaky clean, which is not necessarily a good thing. It is a shame because the scent is so nice, and I love the oil-to-foamy-lather formulation. Another issue is that the dropper on the bottle arrived clogged. It is really puzzling because the cleanser seems to be completely liquid. I ran the dropper under very warm water for quite some time in an attempt to clear the clog, but I was unsuccessful. So, in using the product, I've just been pouring it into my hand. This could also be contributing to my issues with dryness, as no matter how hard I try to dispense a small amount, pouring the cleanser out of the bottle inevitably results in my using more than would have been dispensed from a dropper.

Collagen Eye Patches
These are the best under eye patches that I bought. I have tried others, but none provided the results that these did. I had visible results that lasted 12 hours. Puffiness reduced, smooth skin, rejuvenated look. I will be buying more when my supply is up.

Instant feeling of coolness but hoping I got what I paid for.
The box received isn’t the same as advertised but close. She picture. This is only second time trying a set from this box. They are soft and cooling. No unpleasant smell. It makes it fell like a spa day. And Hope to see results with use. At this point not breakout or reactions. That’s a good thing! Just not seeing results yet. Give it time, I know.

Very easy to use and gives good moisturizing as well
Honestly here’s how this goes . When I first wake up after a nights rest I have the worse eyebags . So I ordered these and gave them a try . After washing my face I applied these , I kept them on for 30 minutes . When I removed them I noticed a significant amount of puffiness gone , however there was still puffiness there . So I then applied plexaderm on top . The results with both these two products are a welcome outcome . Just on there own they do a pretty good job , however with the plexaderm I got an awesome outcome .
