Answer:

James L. Farmer, Jr, was the organizer of the Freedom Rides.

Explanation:

Freedom Rides were a form of resistance that emerged from the civil rights movement. The so-called Freedom Riders helped abolish state-sanctioned racial segregation by taking suburban buses to the southern states to implement the Supreme Court's rulings that prohibited segregation in public transport, restaurants, and waiting rooms.

The first Freedom Ride, led by James L. Farmer Jr. left Washington, D.C. on May 4, 1961 towards New Orleans. The joint drive of whites and blacks provoked violent protests, gave rise to the civil rights movement and first made American citizens and later the whole world aware of the problem. Participants were arrested in part for trespassing, unlawful assembly, and violations of state and local laws.
