 “Freedom Rider Diary,” winner of this year's Eudora Welty Prize.  She 
 will share her experiences as a twenty-two-year-old college graduate who 
 left New York City to join the Freedom Riders on one of the historic rides 
 to desegregate the busses in the South. Her participation in this 
 nonviolent civil disobedience led to her arrest and imprisonment in the 
 infamous Mississippi Parchman Prison Farm for forty days. \n\nThe memoir, 
 based on notes on scraps smuggled out of Parchman, recounts the experience 
 of Silver and other members of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in 
 the charged atmosphere of the Civil Rights movement.  Read more at
