The Freedom Riders were people who wanted to end segregation. It started in 1961. In Alabama and Mississippi, they challenged the segregation. But they had angry mobs go after them and attack them. They had two buses and the first one got attacked first then the second one had sliced tires and it caught on fire. The bus drivers refused to drive them because of this. They didn't fight back because they wanted to end the segregation so they didn't want them to think bad of them and not end it. In the outcome of everything racial discrimination and segregation was banded.
