The Freedom Rides took place in 1961. There is a great documentary about it here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/freedomriders/
I can't believe their courage in the face of such danger.
I was unaware of this part of the civil rights movement until I watched the documentary. It's hard to believe that this took place in my lifetime.
