23 Feb 1961 Jahr - 1961: Freedom Rides (The Freedom Rides of 1961 re-enforced the success of the sit-ins. The Idea was that blacks and whites would board inter-state buses in the north, where they could legally sit together, but remain in their places when the bus entered the south, where they would be breaking local segregation laws. This strategy was again successful due to the favourable publicity it received when confronted by violence.) (Band der Zeit)
