i believe that the Freedom riders were organized by the SNCC, the student non-violence coordinating committee!. black and white students rode buses into the most racially segregated parts of the deep south in order to show a spirit of civil disobedience!. they rode to montgomery, mississippi, and birmingham, i believe!. in those cities they were attacked brutally and when the news was broadcasted, americans began to feel ashamed of the deep racial hatred!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
