Today in Lawrence is an early morning digest of essential (and not-so-essential) info to start your day in Lawrence and Douglas County.

Feels like ... summer?

Whoa, this is no misprint: The National Weather Service in Topeka is predicting a high of 73 for the Lawrence area today. Balmy, humid, a little breezy; all in all an awesome way to start the week. Low of 38 tonight, then more 70s coming Tuesday.

'Freedom' flick

Launching their historic struggle in 1961, hundreds of Civil Rights activists called Freedom Riders challenged the racial segregation of the American interstate system by traveling together in small interracial groups and sitting where they chose on buses and trains. Follow their journey with a documentary film of the same name at 2:30 p.m. at the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive. The screening's free.
