 Boston.com / News / Nation / Washington / Immigrants' 'freedom ride' seeks to improve job conditions
WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of immigrant workers and their supporters rolled into the nation's capital yesterday, bringing their "freedom ride" for better treatment to the halls of Congress.
Inspired by the original freedom riders of the 1960s, who boarded buses to protest segregation, the immigrant riders used their bus tour to gain support for legalization of undocumented workers, better working conditions, and reforms to hasten the reunification of families.
Linking their freedom ride to the civil rights movement of the 1960s "is an insult to the intellect of the American public," said David Ray, a spokesman for the federation.
