 At the bus stop’s they tried to use white only bathrooms and lunch counters. 
The freedome 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 harmful weapons. The police did not show because it was mothers day.
The police abandon the first bus soon before it reached the station.
Over the next several months rides continued untill the Interstate Commerce Comission finally issued regulations stopping the segregation at interstate transit terminals.
