The Freedom Rides of 1961 aimed to challenge segregation in interstate bus travel across the southern United States. Despite facing violent opposition, the rides drew national attention to the Civil Rights Movement and highlighted the injustices faced by African Americans. The outcome led to increased federal enforcement of desegregation laws and ultimately contributed to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The rides galvanized support for the movement and demonstrated the power of nonviolent protest in effecting change.
