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.
More than 300 Freedom Riders were arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, on May 24 and 25, 1961. They were protesting segregation in interstate bus travel by challenging Jim Crow laws. The arrests occurred at the Greyhound Bus Terminal, where the riders were met with violent opposition and law enforcement action. This event was a significant moment in the civil rights movement, highlighting the struggle against racial segregation.

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.
The Freedom Riders were a group of Civil Right's activists. They rode through Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and ending in New Orleans, Louisiana.
