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.
How about you find the answer yourself. Mrs. Danielson would not be happy.
Protection of Freedom RidersDuring the first Freedom Ride, very little to nothing was done to protect the Freedom Riders. Local officials did nothing to stop the beatings and harassment. Attorney General Robert Kennedy sent an aid to attempt to calm the situation. Alabama State Highway Patrol escorted the bus from Birmingham to the Montgomery city limits, but violence broke out at the bus station; the Riders were brutally beaten without intervention from police. At that point, the Riders were protected by the State Police and National Guard and no more incidents of mob violence occurred; however, when the Riders arrived in Jackson, Mississippi, they were arrested and jailed.The protection for subsequent Freedom Riders was similar, with no local protection and spotty protection from state and federal government.
President John F. Kennedy reached an agreement with Mississippi's state authorities in 1961 to ensure the protection of Freedom Riders, who were civil rights activists challenging segregated bus terminals. This agreement, known as the "Mississippi Accord," required state officials to enforce the law and provide police protection for the Freedom Riders, preventing violent attacks and ensuring their safety during their protests in Mississippi.
The Freedom Riders were activists who were determined to protest the segregationists policies of the deep South.
Freedom Riders - film - was created in 2010.
