Former Greyhound Bus Station

The former Greyhound bus station in Jackson was a site of significant historic events in 1961 when Freedom Riders, protested racial segregation in public transportation. Their actions led to increased federal enforcement against discriminatory practices. Today, owned by Robert Parker Adams Architects, the building stands as a symbol of resilience in the Civil Rights Movement’s push for desegregation. They’ve maintained the appearance of the original bus station for historic preservation. There’s a historic marker outside of their building.
