Segregation on buses
The Freedom Riders were a civil rights group. Their goal was to make southern states recognize the anti-segregation laws that were in place. Freedom Riders were groups of white and African American civil rights activists who participated in Freedom Rides, bus trips through the American South in 1961 to protest segregated bus terminals Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who rode interstate buses into the segregated Southern United States in 1961 and subsequent years to challenge the non-enforcement of the United States Supreme Court decisions Morgan v. Virginia (1946) and Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which ruled that segregated public buses were unconstitutional. The Southern states had ignored the rulings and the federal government did nothing to enforce them. The first Freedom Ride left Washington, D.C. on May 4, 1961, and was scheduled to arrive in New Orleans on May 17.
Rosa Parks (c. 1912-2005) was an African-American woman actively involved in the Civil Rights Movement. In addition to being placed on trial during an early protest against segregation, she worked with other black activists and as an assistant to black legislators in Washington.
It was the Freedom Rides.

Segregation on buses
The Kennedy administration supported the Freedom Riders' right to protest nonviolently against segregation on interstate buses. They intervened to protect the Freedom Riders when they faced violent attacks in the South and enforced federal laws to ensure their safety. The administration also ordered the Interstate Commerce Commission to ban segregation in bus and train stations in response to the Freedom Riders' efforts.
Two popular forms of protest in the 1960s were sit-ins and freedom marches or ralleys.
