An awful lot of American women have actively put THEIR lives on the line to fight for OURS.
SHACKLE BREAKERS you could call them, making the style of this bracelet fitting.


WHO WERE THE FREEDOM RIDERS?:
This ICON Bracelet pays tribute to Freedom Riders who insisted on sticking to their principles in spite of great opposition which they knew could come at the ultimate cost, and gives a nod to Harriet Tubman. Riding interstate buses into the segregated southern United States in 1961 and later years, Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who challenged the NON-enforcement of the U. S. Supreme Court decisions which ruled that segregated public buses were unconstitutional.

Among the Freedom Riders and other citizens and activists who may be pictured on your ICON tile bracelet are: Hellen O'Neal McCray, Joan Trumphauer, Margaret Winonah Beamer Myers, Lula Mae White, Margaret Leonard, Catherine Burks Brooks, Judith Frieze, Ruby Doris Smith Robinson, Helen Singleton, Gloria Booknight, Joan Pleune, Irene Morgan (11 yrs before Rosa Parks, she refused to give up her bus seat), Claudette Colvin (refused to give up her bus seat 8 months before Rosa Parks), Jorgia Siegel, Winonah Margaret Beamer, Patricia Elaine Bryant, Frances Wilson, Helen Dorothy, Claire O'Connor, Mimi Real, Ellen Ziskind, Carol Silver, organizer Diane Nash, Kredelle Petway, and American's first famous female freedom conductor Harriet Tubman, among others. And THESE are just the women! There were many men ALONGSIDE them.

FINISH:
The FREEDOM RIDERS BRACELET comes in gold, silver, antique silver (looks like dark pewter), or copper finish. The images are glazed, so any white spots in these images are just the camera picking up light from the shine.

You have the OPTION TO ADD a DROP CHARM. Choose from the dropdown menu.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT AN ADDED DROP CHARM, choose "NO GEMSTONE" from the dropdown menu!

DROP CHARMS are usually Swarovski crystals and range between 4 and 8 mm depending on type, availability and compatibility.

PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!

#BLM
Almost all of my social justice and unity pieces long PRE-DATE the #BLM movement. But as a Boomer Afro-Latino artist and small business owner, BLACK LIVES have MATTERed to Fury for a LONG, long time. And this is clear in the type of jewelry I make and the historical figures I feature.
