?If you only watch one program tonight, make it American Experience's Freedom Riders (PBS, 9 ET/PT, times may vary) ? a sometimes shattering and yet ultimately uplifting film about the black and white Americans who joined forces in 1961 to challenge segregation by simply riding buses through the Deep South.

Kate's (Stana Katic) mom's murder plot takes a surprising turn on 'Castle.'
They provoked more violence than even the organizers expected, beaten and abused by hard-core racists whose hearts cannot be touched and brains cannot be engaged.
But through their actions, the riders reached the good and decent majority in the South and elsewhere ? people who, explains Nashville resident John Seigenthaler, "were blind to the reality of racism and afraid of change."
The film is a powerful testament to the courage of the riders, the call of civil rights and the ability of people of goodwill to grow.
?On a much lighter front, fans of Castle (ABC, 10 ET/PT) won't want to miss tonight's season finale, which moves Kate's mother's murder plot in a shocking new direction and ends on a cliffhanger viewers will be discussing all summer.
Even if the end's a bluff, it will be a different Castle come fall.
