In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King III, the photo gallery below features Road To Freedom bus stop events highlighting our partnership with civil rights leaders and organizations. Building coalition and promoting passage of the ADA Restoration Act, the Road To Freedom is a cross-country bus tour and traveling exhibit that is still on the road after being launched from Washington, DC on November 15, 2006.

The Road To Freedom bus was named after the classic book by Harriet Tubman, who fought slavery as a great "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. During a ten-year span she made 19 trips into the South and escorted more than 300 slaves to freedom. Tubman herself was a person with a disability, acuiring epilepsy as a result of a severe head injury inflicted by an irate slave overseer.
