The Freedom Riders.
A trophy
Yes.
The Freedom Riders were activists who rode buses and other forms of transportation that were meant for white people only. The purpose of the Freedom Riders was to try and end segregation.
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.
