What was done to protect Freedom Riders?
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.

Why did Diane Nash and John Lewis think it was so important to continue the Freedom Rides after the riots in Anniston and Birmingham?
According to Nash, "It was clear to me that if we allowed the Freedom Ride to stop at that point, just after so much violence had been inflicted, the message would have been sent that all you have to do to stop a nonviolent campaign is inflict massive violence."
What were the freedom rides?
The Freedom rides of 1961 were bus riders made up of black and white Americans determined to bring the issue of racism in the south to the attention of John F. Kennedy who they thought had supported the end of racial discrimination, but in actuality had done nothing since taking office. Riding on buses, they travelled through the south with blacks riding in the front of the bus and whites in the back. Whenever they stopped at a rest stop, the whites used the blacks-only rest room and the blacks used the whites only rest room. These freedom riders met violence and physical injury all through the south. Although they were jailed for trumped up charges, and prevented from continuing their ride, they did get the national attention they were looking for. And they got Bobby Kennedy (the Attorney General) and the president to notice what was going on. The freedom riders made a great contribution to the cause of civil rights in the south.
