__**Notes.**__
 * **Freedom Riders were civil rights advocates, both black and white, who traveled to the South from the North on buses in 1961 as volunteers for the Congress of Racial Equality. **


 * **Their object was to protest racial segregation in interstate bus terminals by testing to see if those facilities were still segregated despite a 1960 Supreme Court ruling.**


 * **In the face of harassment and sometimes violent physical attacks, the Freedom Riders maintained their nonviolent stance and ultimately forced the integration of 120 bus terminals in the South.**


 * **The Supreme Court has banned segregation in interstate travel twice, but Southern states widely ignore the rulings. **


 * **The Congress of Racial Equality sends mixed-race groups of non-violent volunteers, known as Freedom Riders, on bus trips into Dixie. They meet minor resistance in the upper South, but when they get to Alabama trouble erupts.**

Nevertheless, the work of civil rights activists had succeeded in transforming American politics, reshaping American society, and improving the lives of millions of African Americans. **
