Back to event

The 2nd bus got attacked by the KKK and the people got beaten with baseball bats, metal pipes, and other things. which soon ended everything, and the freedom riders got arrested in jackson in the bus depot for violating segregation statues were taken to jail.

Their actions were met with violent backlash; in fact, one of their buses was ambushed and burned by a mob in Alabama.

Freedom Riders were a group of civil rights activists who took a bus trip through the South in 1961 to challenge segregation in public transportation. The first group of Freedom Riders set off from Washington, D.C., towards New Orleans. They intentionally sat in 'whites-only' sections at bus terminals and used segregated facilities.
