Nash later became a key part of the Freedom Ride in her role as one of the founding students of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. She was appointed by President John F. Kennedy to a national committee that promoted passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. She was on the inside of the non-violent movement of the 1960s. It is being held for area students as a way to educate, inform and empower them.

Various participants are available for interviews either that day or in the days prior to the event.
