In the summer of 1961, Mulholland was 20 years old when she boarded a bus and joined hundreds of other Freedom Riders protesting racial segregation in Southern business and facilities. Like many other Freedom Riders, Mulholland was arrested in Mississippi and sent to the state's penitentiary, popularly known as Parchman Farm. She and fellow protesters were held in crowded cells on Parchman Farm's death row. Subjected to physical and psychological abuse by prison officials, the Freedom Riders kept up their spirits through song, discussion, and the occasional game. Mulholland improvised her own deck of playing cards using envelopes from the occasional mail she received. Mulholland's lifetime of activism did not begin or end in 1961. Her work as a civil rights activist took her from sit-ins to marches, and eventually made her a target for execution by the Ku Klux Klan.
