 What are you fishing for today? Redfish, white trout, drum, flounder. Reverend Petway was a Freedom Rider, in his case, one of the few who flew. When the other Freedom Riders were trying to desegregate interstate buses, young Petway, his older sister and their father, took a Delta Airlines flight into the Jackson, Mississippi airport. As police stood by, they refused to use the water fountain designated for black people.
