Why Did The Freedom Riders End The Civil Rights Movement

On may 4 1961 6 black men and 6 white men chose to come together and form an alliance called the freedom riders. The leader of the freedom riders was jame farm. James farmer was just an african american man who wanted to be equal to everyone else and he is a strong individual that work alongside martin luther king jr. The main purpose for the freedom rides was to end racism and look at everybody to be created equally. Also They were on two busses headed to the deep south and they intended to test the supreme court's ruling in boynton v. virginia which declared segregation in interstate bus and rail stations unconstitutional. The freedom riders were working for (CORE), Congress of racial equality. They challenged the jim crow laws and went
Turns out that they grew up together and went to the same church together. The freedom riders was a big deal because if it was a success then it would have ended all racism and everybody would have been looked at the same and no different. The freedom riders ended in 1965 so this civil rights movement only lasted for 4 years which is not to bad. The freedom rides made the supreme court so mad that the supreme court went to desperate measures to stop the civil rights movement from being a success. This civil rights movement was one of the biggest and most important movements of history yet it ended in one of the shortest periods of time. As the busses were driving on the streets tons of citizens formed riots and threw stuff at the busses and didn't want the buses in their sight. Citizens and stores were so unhappy with this movement which is not right because the freedom riders are just looking to be happy and equal just like everyone else.One day the freedom riders were on the way to new orleans and on there way they had planned to stop in Jackson missisipi but as the were in jackson a manager of a diner called the cops saying a negro ate at his diner and he said no negroes are allowed in
After that incident they was back on the road for a little while then they were arrested for trespassing and violating a state . They got arrested in a birmingham, they were arrested by Bull connor and jailed. Bull connor arrested them because he said he does not feel that the apartment of justice is worth anything. In my opinion the freedom riders were the most brave people in history for the simple fact that even though everyone went against them and hated them they still did what they believed in and did what they had to do because they were determined to be free and and conquer their dreams. When they made it to their destination they honestly thought that they were going to be killed but it turns out that they just got thrown in jail again and I bet they were so relieved. I give the freedom riders props though because they had said that they was going to do something and they did and as many obstacles that were in there way they pushed through them and did what they had to do. Along side of the freedom riders stood Martin Luther King jr, one of the strongest bravest african americans in
