Civil Rights and transis equit assisting "Freedom Rides" (1960s) Corty barriers to transpo COCCESS Despite the victory in Montgomery, segregation laws continued to limit the rights of blacks across the South. In 1961, the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) organized the first of many "Freedom Rides." The goal was to test a recent Supreme Court ruling outlawing segregation in interstate travel. The first 13 Freedom Riders -seven black, six white - set out to the Deep South. They successfully integrated several bus stations before being violently attacked in Alabama. Some of the riders were even arrested in Jackson, Mississippi for violating segregation laws. The widespread violence provoked by the Freedom Rides sent shock waves through American society; however, the actions of the Freedom Riders from the North, who faced danger on behalf of southern blacks, impressed and inspired the many blacks the South. This continued to spread awareness for civil rights issues in the United States. in the remova Route of the Freedom NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Riders, 1961 CANADA MO ARK ILL MICH IND TENN Birmingh MISS.
