The freedom rise was a Civil Rights Campaign to challenge the segregated laws in interstate travel across the south. The freedom rides again with two groups of integrated people, blacks and whites, leaving on Greyhound Buses traveling through the deep south to test whether the facilities and the modes of transportation work, and were compliant with the recent Supreme Court ruling in which the Supreme Court outlaws segregation in interstate travel.
