Fifthteenth Annotation

Cozzens, Lisa. "Freedom Riders." Civil Rights Movement 1955-1965:Freedom Riders. 18 Aug 1999 . 10 Dec 2008
.

The first Freedom Ride took place on May 4, 1961 when seven blacks and six whites left Washington, D.C., on two public buses bound for the Deep South. They intended to test the Supreme Court's ruling in Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which declared segregation in interstate bus and rail stations unconstitutional.

This is a secondary source.I will use it to show how people of more than one racwe protested for whats right.
