A key organizer of the Freedom Rides was James Farmer, co-founder of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). The Freedom Rides, which began in 1961, aimed to challenge segregation in interstate bus travel and draw attention to the Civil Rights Movement. Alongside other activists, Farmer played a crucial role in coordinating the rides and mobilizing participants to confront racial discrimination in the South.
