How were the Freedom Rides and Freedom Summer similar? Both events had the goal of ending segregation in the South. Both events focused on expanding voting rights for African Americans. Both were created and led by white activists. Both met with violent resistance in the South.
Here. Freedom Summer was a 1964 campaign in Mississippi to register as many African American voters as possible. Freedom Rides or Riders were Civil Rights Activists who rode buses into the segregated south speaking out against and defying Jim Crow laws. Both ideals were all about empowering blacks and seeking racial equality.
If that doesn't clarify, then nothing will.
I will be expecting my medal soon.
