The Freedom Rides organized by CORE and began May 5, 1961. Led by CORE Director James Farmer, 13 riders (seven black, six white) left D.C. Their plan: to ride buses through South, end in New Orleans. Tactics: One interracial pair sitting together One black Rider up front (in white section) One rider always followed rules to post bail for others
