The Freedom Rides of 1961 was a revolutionary movement where black and white people refused to sit in their designated areas of buses to protest segregation. They began in Washington DC on May 4, 1961 and went to New Orleans originally. But the rides sparked a revolution and inspired many other people from several states to take part in the freedom rides and support the fight for racial justice. The 1961 Freedom Rides sought to test a 1960 decision by the Supreme Court in Boynton v. Virginia that segregation of interstate transportation facilities, including bus terminals, was unconstitutional as well.

Which river valley inside the present-day united states was the site of significant european settlement prior to 1750?
satela [25.4K]
The Mississippi Valley was very attractive for early colonizers. The Spaniards first went there in 1541, hoping they would find gold just like their fellow citizens had done in Mexico two decades earlier. But their venture didn't bear any fruit. Then, in 1673, French came to explore the land. Soon enough, missionaries followed their steps, and the first small settlements were formed, in spite of many troubles (such as outbreaks of smallpox).
