Freedom Riders

On May 1961 a group called the Freedom Rider wanted to test to see whether they can sit wherever they want on a bus ride from Washington D.C to New Orleans. They made it to the Carolinas and they got stopped by their first set of violence. Then again in Anniston Alabama they where also attacked. But even though they where attcked they got a lot of attention which lead to all interstate buses were required a certification stating "Seating aboard this vehicle is without regard to race, color, creed, or national origin, by order of the Interstate Commerce Commission".

Greensboro Sit-ins

In 1960, four black college students sat in Greensboro, North Carolina, sat down at the whites-only lunch counter in the downtown Woolworth's store. The African American waitress told them to move, but they didn’t and ate until their lunch hour was over. As they left, they promised to return the next morning to continue their “sitdown protest.”The next day 19 college students joined the “sit-ins”.As it kept going, African Americans kept coming to the counter. Soon students were staging sit-ins across the South. White students sometimes joined African Americans in these protests. From lunch counters, the protests spread to segregated stores, supermarkets, libraries, and public swimming pools

This is the protesting outside of the restaurant.

On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Rosa Parks quoted “People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day….No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” This was stating she was tired of giving in on what was not right rather than from a day at work. The Monday after that the crowd decided to continue boycotting until the city agreed to seat bus riders on a “first come first serve.” After that, they decided to go further and chose Martin Luther King to head the Montgomery Approval Association.

In the end, they wanted to test whether they could sit wherever they wanted, eat in integrated dining rooms, and use integrated facilities in school restrooms. The law resulted in “ seating aboard this vehicle I without regard to race, color, creed, or national origin, by order of the interstate commerce commission.”

This is a picture of Rosa Parks getting arested. You can see she has a little smirk on her face with no fear and all proud. She knows she is making a change and if it takes her to get arrested that's what she was going to do. I couldn't even imagine someone getting arrested and being happy. This just shows that Rosa Parks will put her life out there to make a change.

This is the group called the NAACP, this is an organizition that helped and still helps African Americans. This organization ensured that the processes following Rosa Parks' arrest were effective and well-known. Without this group, Rosa Parks might have merely been remembered as a woman who said no. However, with the support of the NAACP, she became a symbol of change.

Eventually, business owners began to ntegrate their resturants and stores. Business owners chose peace and itegration over losing money. This method was copied in many other places.This was non-violent and peaceful, they did not have to interact with others and were supposed to be friendly.

These are the four college student protesters. Without them starting the protest, African Americans wouldn't be able to have space on the lunch counter. They were brave even when the African Americans warned them. The four freshmen stayed in their seats, no matter what was happening. They kept coming the next days, with more people, even whites, who sometimes joined them. That is these four college students made a change.

These were the people that attacked and fire-bombed. There the members form the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). They Attacked near Anniston Alabama, on Mother's day. People got hit with bad and some were assaulted. One of the riders was beaten over in the head with a bat.

On her way home from work, she sat on the first row of the black section of the bus. As you can see with no harm or intent to hurt anyone, she just wanted to sit in a seat. She got ordered to move from her seat, but she didn’t. She did not do it because she was tired she did it because she was tired of giving in to whites' laws

In this image, they were testing if they could sit at a whites-only lunch counter. Every day they weren't served, but more and more people joined them for a peaceful protest. More and more people came, and it grew to 85 people, but they never struck back when they were pouring things on them. The people who were part of the protest chose to treat everyone equally so they wouldn't look bad.
