HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2017
- In response to the South's continued practice of segregation, a group of activists from all backgrounds and races rode interstate buses into the deep South. Met by violence and opposition, the Freedom Riders displayed true acts of courage as they peacefully sought to end segregation in the South and achieve civil rights for all people.

Lord I step out my comfort zone holding a door open for folks a few feet away sometimes… and then here you have folks having the courage of their convictions to hold steadfast on something that we may take for granted today. I wouldn’t be born today nor half my friends without freaking warriors like these. Freaking inspiring seeing what courage can do to change human perspective through generations.
My son was doing his homework and he really liked this video. Thanks for posting it!
So your son is a racist
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THESE PEACEFUL PROTESTS. THIS VICTORY WAS FELT IN THE CARIBBEAN AS WELL TRULY APPRECIATED
My respect to those people, who were part of this movement! The job that they have done is incredible! I really hope that racism will be completely abolished one day and I believe that it is now our turn to step in and to make that happen! Thank you for the video btw.!!!

There was so much violence attached to any Civil Rights movement. Senseless murders and sabotage followed it like a garbage truck down some alley. Hats off to the brave people who dared to stand up and fight.
I remember reading that the Rosa Parks incident inspired the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which lasted a year. Blacks and other races who opposed discrimination, in Montgomery, AL, refused to ride that bus. Instead, they walked, biked and carpooled. Initially, they asked for courtesy, the hiring of black bus drivers and fair pay for those drivers. But after a year, the supreme court passed a judgement declaring segregation on busses illegal.
Short, simple, and sweet. Thank you :) ❤️
The amount of effort put into this documentary is very well done the freedom riders had the balls to go into the deep south, get treated so badly and still kept their power of positivity to everyone and show them that they just want freedom and social equality.
What I just needed for my assignment
The whole story is summed up in 5 minutes. Well done!
4 mins, but okies
Our teacher is using this for our work
Here for an online class. It seems we just can't learn from history. A genocide in China, police brutality coming to a head here in the U.S and officers getting away with it... I will never understand why we do this. This was a great summary; very informative and didn't leave out details but also wasn't too lengthy.
whoever that black woman was she did a good job telling the story
Dr. Barbara McCaskill as introduced in beginning
In History class we are learning about Freedom of Rights and everythung about it. I enjoyed this video helped me alot i learned alot from this video.
This is so complex but simple. Thank you for this

You can blame JB for that

This is the inspiration of the movie called Freedom Writters, I came here only for the GM PD-4104 Greyhound Lines🤣😅
But thanks for the information
AWESOME VIDEO, WOOPS SORRY FOR THE CAPITALIZATION!:/ : ) February, 12th,2024
my daughter needed help for her hw and it was really educational and lit🤩😜
my son was so enthusiastic about this video! he was like a golden retriever haha 🤪
2024 still believe 🙏🙏🙏
Let's do it again!!!!
An interesting piece of history to learn from, the most important conclusion to this was missing. It wasn't until The Civil Rights Law of 1964 that segregation legally ended. But I'm thinking I'm sure there were those who resented the law & continued the hatred. The KKK still exists in some parts of the U.$ I've seen documentaries on this.
4:34 is or me or does the guy by the bus window appear to be on a cell phone?
hes leaning against the window
Great video
Thanks!
😮😮
Here because of the boondocks lol
Noted historian J Mills Thornton has a detailed lecture on the Freedom Riders on RUclips and gives a more politically nuanced explanation of JFK and RFK in response to the violence
The ad I got for this video was from Black Lives Matter...... protests are STILL going on in 2020 for the black community. Heartbreaking.
The intensity of separation of races doesn't exist. The Freedom Riders played a big part of this change.
Gladys cook? insoul food cafe? hair greese?

Claudette Covin was the real Rosa Parks
How can Claudette Colvin be Rosa Parks......you can say she protested the unconstitutional desegregation on buses before Rosa...but how can she be someone else? Make that make sense for me.
