It started out when Rosa Parks refused to give up her front row spot to a white person, which later resulted in her arrest. After the arrest members of the black society started a bus boycott so they would be able to make a point so they can be unsegregated. One of the other leaders was Martin Lutheran King Jr. who lead marches to spread the word. He also had a speech that influenced the law to be unsegregated. The boycott succeeded in just over a year. The reason this is so important is because it was one of the first laws changed to be unsegregated in the Civil Rights Movement.]]> 2019-10-08 19:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/13k2e7yf3ptm/wish/395280829 Freedom rides-Karina 1961 https://padlet.com/dheld3/13k2e7yf3ptm/wish/395280869 Freedom rides were orginized by the congress of racial equality, 13 freedom riders left on a bus, including 6 whites.
 At the bus stop’s they tried to use white only bathrooms and lunch counters. 
The freedom riders goal was to get from Washington DC. to New Orleans, Loisiana. 
During the ride a few of the members were attacked trying to get into a white waiting room. 
In Atlanta, Georga a few of the riders split off on another bus. 
The first bus was forced to drive past the bus stop to avoid an angry mob of people waiting outside of it. They were chased and, at on point a white protester threw a bomb at the bus. Moments later it burst into flames, luckily everyone survived.
The second bus’es riders were beaten by a mob brandishing metal poles and other harmfull weapons. The police did not show because it was mothers day.
The police abandon the first bus soon before it reaced the station.
Over the next several months rides continued untill the Interstate Commerce Comission finaly issued regulations stopping the segregation at interstate transit terminals.
