Even after laws had been passed banning segregation in buses. I was impressed by the courage of both the black and the white Freedom Riders, though. The white riders took a lot of beatings for supporting the black riders, and I am glad that they stood up for what they believed in. We might not be at the point we are today without them.Stephen Bortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506035381474519053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965985900753420510.post-11899052103153790732011-11-22T17:26:03.493-08:002011-11-22T17:26:03.493-08:00It's really pathetic to see how so many people...It's really pathetic to see how so many people were angered to the point to riot just because African Americans were allowed to ride in the front of the bus.

However it was nice seeing that both races were involved in the freedom ride, putting their lives on the line for freedom that we enjoy today.Mushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237972375094721608noreply@blogger.com
