Ashley High and Murray Middle have jointly sponsored the Freedom Riders Exhibit to come to both of our schools.  It will be at Ashley High Media Center January 4 - 13 and then moved to Murray Middle Media Center on January 14th.

All students and classroom teachers are encouraged to come view the Freedom Riders display, it will be an educational experience. 

There is a Libguide created for use in conjunction with the visit that provides background information and links to many videos that relate to the topic. http://ashley.nhcs.libguides.com/freedomriders
