When the Freedom Riders arrived in Montgomery, Alabama, on May 20, 1961, they faced violent hostility from white segregationists. As they disembarked from their bus, they were attacked by an angry mob, leading to chaos and injuries. The police response was minimal, and federal intervention was required to restore order. The event highlighted the intense racial tensions in the South and drew national attention to the Civil Rights Movement.
