Freedom Riders

On May 4th 1961, CORE and The SNCC sent a group of black and white men and women to ride interstate buses testing if they can sit were they wanted in segragated buses. The plan was to have the Freedom Riders ride all the way from Washinton D.C. to New Orlenes. There was some backlash but during the trip through Anniston Alabama they were attacked by Bull Conor and the KKK. The riders were fire bombed while other were beaten with bats,metal pipes, and bicycle chains by Bull Conors mob in Birmingham Alabama which would later have the Birmingham childrens marches. They tried multiple times to complete the whole route to New Orleans eventually leading to the ICC making rules against discrimination on interstate buses

The Montgomery Bus Boycott

On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery Alabama, Rosa Parks was, arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on the bus. Following Rosa Parks arrest the NAACP, MIA, and Martin Luther King jr put up flyers for a bus protest, and a bus boycott began on December 5, 1955 later ending in December of 1956. The economy suffered during the boycott because no one rode the buses and the boycott led to a U.S. Supreme Court case ruling that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional

The Brown Vs Board of Education case

Let the communication flow!

Oliver Brown began the Brown vs Board of education case in 1954, after his daughter Linda Brown was rejected from an all white school in Topeka Kanasas. The NAACP and Thurgood Marshall got involved. During the case Thurgood Marshall argued that the Plessy vs Ferguson case which deemed segragation was acceptable if sperate facilities were equal was inherently unequal. Marshall's arguement led to the court rulling we're making segregated schools illegal but they didn't give a deadline for the schools to desegregate. This court decision would lead to the little rock 9 and Ruby Bridges
