As the Civil Rights movement heated up in the 1960s, citizens with Newton ties felt called to participate. Clips from the film “Freedom Riders” set the stage for a conversation with Skip Griffin and Judy Frieze Wright. They discuss their activism, including attending the 1963 March on Washington, in a conversation moderated by Boston journalist Carmen Fields.
