“The courageous Freedom Riders won’t ever be the same,” wrote a newspaper journalist in 1961.
“They left Washington, D.C., in good spirits with high hopes in their
country and fellow men. But the beatings, the tensions, the shots, the
depth of the hating, the open lawlessness took its toll. It will be a
miracle if all their physical and psychological wounds ever heal. The
Deep South was that tough.”

What do we do?
The police are meant to be people that protect you…and they’re not…Who do you have left to turn to?How does this affect the Civil Rights
Movement?
Is nonviolent protest an effective means of a “fight”?
