MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A historical bus tour is rolling through the Twin Cities Saturday.

The “Housing is a Human Right” bus tour is an event that mimics the Freedom Riders – a group of Civil Rights activists who bused to the South during the 60s.

A big yellow school bus is packed with people who are pushing for affordable housing.

Unlike the Freedom Riders, these advocates are trying to bring attention to a different kind of civil rights – justice for the housing crisis.
