My hero is my brother, freedom rider William “Bill” Harbour of Atlanta, Ga. He was born in the Piedmont, Alabama in 1942 and grew up with White and Colored water fountains, White only food eateries, White and Colored schools. During his 3rd year at Tenn State University, he got involved with a group of students who wanted to change the way blacks was treated. He and his college friends got on a greyhound bus headed for Birmingham, Alabama which is now known as the Freedom Riders from Nashville. The rest is history.
