Freedom Train: Hearings Before the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, 81st Congress, 1st Session, on H.J. Res. 84; a Resolution to Provide for the Acquisition and Operation of the Freedom Train by the Archivist of the United States, and for Other Purposes. January 27, 1949

Two national Freedom Trains have toured the United States: the 1947-49 special exhibit Freedom Train and the 1975-76 American Freedom Train which celebrated the United States Bicentennial. Each train had its own special red, white and blue paint scheme and its own itinerary and route around the 48 contiguous states, stopping to display Americana and related historical artifacts. The 1940s Freedom Train exhibit was integrated--black and white viewers were allowed to mingle freely. When town officials in Birmingham, Alabama, and Memphis, Tennessee, refused to allow blacks and whites to see the exhibits at the same time, the Freedom Train skipped the planned visits, amid significant controversy.
