Who Were the Freedom Riders? | The Civil Rights Movement

[@zuhzanderful]

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.

[@alanstrong55]

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.

[@michemiche7294]

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THESE PEACEFUL PROTESTS. THIS VICTORY WAS FELT IN THE CARIBBEAN AS WELL TRULY APPRECIATED

So your son is a racist

[@laylawood9085]

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.!!!

[@Milty2001]

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.

Short, simple, and sweet. Thank you :) ❤️

[@weewhitedug5082]

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.

[@judewilliams3911]

whoever that black woman was she did a good job telling the story

The whole story is summed up in 5 minutes. Well done!

4 mins, but okies

Our teacher is using this for our work

[@natd602]

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.

[@veeringwindswx4646]

Thank you for this video; it was a comprehensive review of the topic.

This is a beautiful educational video...❤❤❤

[@DannyMcKinney79]

My respect for the civil rights for People in different countries they have a right to have focus on Freedom of speech so it doesn’t affect their ability to believe their rights and responsibilities to be escalated from the public. Don’t stand there and yell at anybody what they don’t believe. Remember this Everyone can say what they say ? Stop discriminating the people who are treated fairly.

[@kelvinxyz]

This video is so easy to understand and interesting good job!

Every time I watch a video about civil rights movements, I cry. How dare human discriminate against another human bc of their skin color or ethnicity? Those are the real heroes. They fought for the freedom of future generations, yet what is happening to America's freedom now?

AWESOME VIDEO, WOOPS SORRY FOR THE CAPITALIZATION!:/ : ) February, 12th,2024

[@PamelaAGreen]

I posted about there still being slaves down there in the 70s and was told that I didn’t know what I was talking about. Ha! One of the “masters” was a man who I grew up thinking was my Great Uncle… Abner Perrin who was the oldest living Lay Reader in the Episcopal Church (St. Pauls) in Carlowville AL. Yes… he still had a slave in Alabama in the 1960-1999+ !

[@HookBeak_66]

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.

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Noted historian J Mills Thornton has a detailed lecture on the Freedom Riders on KZbin and gives a more politically nuanced explanation of JFK and RFK in response to the violence

[@johnlatham3854]

The intensity of separation of races doesn't exist. The Freedom Riders played a big part of this change.

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.
