NEW YORK — If you drive six miles southwest of Anniston, Ala., you'll pass the spot where a bus was bombed in 1961 and the passengers — civil rights activists known as Freedom Riders — were beaten by a mob.
There's no marker there, but it's one of 400 places in a new book called On the Road to Freedom: A Guided Tour of the Civil Rights Trail (Algonquin Books, $18.95).
