Freedom rides (4 mayo 1961 año – 10 dic 1961 año)

Descripción:

The freedom rides were a series of bus rides taken by an interracial group of civil rights protestors through the deep south. Each time a bus of freedom riders entered a city, it was attacked by angry racists. Some busses were firebombed, riders were hospitalized, all because they believed in equality. The violent responses from the racists made them look terrible to the rest of the country, turning most of the country anti-segregation.
