So, young, so brave, so courageous. This is such a powerful documentary. Hard to believe this was going on in our southern states just 60 years ago. What a black eye on our country that segregation was allowed to go on for as long as it did and government just looked the other way. Heartbreaking.

This is American History Good and bad. So many people who weren't afraid to fight for their rights and some gave their lives so we could maybe enjoy life today! Thank you to those people God bless them!

These people have an insane amount of bravery and disciplined because human nature would take over and defend myself

I have watched so many documentaries on the civil rights struggle. But this one is the first one that went in depth . Love it!

I remember back in 1990, riding the Greyhound from Virginia to Alabama. When we crossed over from Georgia to Alabama they changed driver's (black to white.). Didn't think nothing of it at the time, until we got into a small county- imagine any 'small town with that 1 traffic signal in the middle of town' kind of place; in the middle of Alabama. I popped my head up (I was laying across the seats sleeping). The driver immediately said "Ma'am please lay back down, I'll let you know when its ok." I was shocked by what I did get to see, was the general store with a sign that said 'Whites Only', and large cotton fields as we left the town. The drive apologized and said "So of these old small town just refuse to change with the times. They are still so many backwards thinking people here in Alabama, That's why we change drivers in Georgia, to alleviate any issues our drivers would run into." He also made me call my uncle to pick me up, when we found out my connecting bus wasn't arriving for 6 hours. He didn't want me sitting alone in a bus station in the middle of No place Alabama. Me a city and Navy girl at the time wasn't scared or worried, but did as he asked. Uncle was there in 45 minutes, and agreed with the driver about not leaving me there alone to wait for the bus. My uncle said "It would have been really dangerous, especially you being by yourself." It just blew my mind that people are STILL this HATE FILLED, and ENTITLED to believe somehow because of SKIN COLOR, or for them the lack of, makes them Superior..NEWS FLASH: It doesn't..

They were so courageous ! Respect to those people, not a lot of people would be able to do the same... ☺️ Love, peace and equality from France 🇨🇵🇺🇲

Thank you !!!! Thank you all for your sacrifice!!!! God Bless the FREEDOM RIDERS!!!!!!!

I’m fascinated with this kind of history. Men & women working together to create incredible history..

People of conviction, this wasn't that long ago.

Huge thanks to all the brave Americans who sacrificed to make this country a better place to live. This is true patriotism.

This was justice for the struggle of all our people. Thanks to the white people who rode for us. ALL POWER TO ALL PEOPLE

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THESE PEACEFUL PROTESTS. THIS VICTORY WAS FELT IN THE CARIBBEAN AS WELL TRULY APPRECIATED

What's amazing is that this was less than 70yrs ago

Im just reading Raymond Aresenault's book to accompany this documentary, and grateful its available . It was a momentous act of courage by those involved and still inspires people world wide. Keep the Faith . R. UK

I'm so thankful for each and every one of you all . For your dedication and sacrifice for equality for us all

I'm mixed up with wight and black, and I would have been harassed for my *skin color* 'cause people see me as black on the outside. It's happened to me even now! I'm just 9 yrs old and I'm harassed. It's not a good feeling, it's *HORRIBLE*💀. Thank you for sharing this with people who don't understand radical hate, I don't think I can thank you enough.🖖😢 March, 1st,2024

Thank you to everyone who encountered these deplorable individuals so that we could thrive beyond our adversities when it came to public transportation. Thank you to all of the content creators who have taken the time to do the research and tell these stories.

Like the brave Ukrainians in 2022,it's these people who shine the torch of freedom for us who follow,they are giants in human history.

So much strength, love and gratitude to you. Where would we find our strength in these terrifying times without the courage you showed. Thank you, Thank you, THANK U🗣️💛⭐

Love 💗 ❤ this documentary ❤

Thanks for uploading this. I am traveling around the south and stop dead in my tracks when walking around downtown Anniston and seeing the mural of the bus

Freedom riders was out there in the battle field while Martin Luther King was making speeches. They paved the way for us they don't get enough credit

A GOTDAM DARK TIME IN HISTORY I CAN,T BIELIEVE THEY UPLOSDED THIS ON YOU TUBE

3:35 The more things change the more they stay the same. I wonder if having people proudly show who they are was better than what we have today. Folks saying racism no longer exists and hiding behind their fear and prejudices. People fought and died for these freedoms. They can and will be easily reversed. Already started.

A must see for our young generation

Never give up keep coming that's what I get out of this

Thanks to this awesome dangerous freedom operation.

I personally believe that boycotting was the most effective and less hazardous method of change.

AS MAD AS IT MAKE ME TOO WATCH THIS VIDEO THE BLACK RACE OWE A LOT TOO THESE FREEDOM RIDERS

Hate and blame go around in circles not going anywhere but repeating it self and never giving to be together a chance to work and not give up on doing it

the latest movie in the national film registry.

truly remarkable

🙏🏾💜

Those "fellas" should of been prosecuted as well. The governor was taking up for those devils.

If Black History does not start with Abraham, whom the CREATOR Chose for the Patriarch of HIS People, the Children of Israel, then books, shows, and talks on Black History leave much to be desired. Abraham was very much a Black Man. His father and he are descended from Hamites. GOD called Abram, whose name HE changed to Abraham, from out of Ur of the Chaldees. As we all know, Noah's son, Ham, was Black. That which people do not know is that Ham populated "Africa" or rather what the Hebrew Scriptures call "Land of Ham", Egypt, Canaan, Assyria, and Babylon. Hence, Abraham and his Seed are a Black People and far removed from being Ashkenazim.

& those heathens call us Savages!!

14:04 I’m taking a trip on the Greyhound bus line, I’m riding the front seat to Nawlins this time. Hallelujah I’m a traveling, hallelujah ain’t it fine, hallelujah I’m a traveling down freedom’s main line. I walked in Montgomery I sat in Tennessee, now I’m riding for equality. Hallelujah I’m a traveling, hallelujah ain’t it fine. Hallelujah I’m a traveling down freedom’s main line. This needs to be a recording on a soundtrack for release. Sadly it is not. Thank you Freedom Riders. You’ll be needed again for sure.

What Happened To That Greyhound Bus In Anniston Was Unacceptable!

Songs are a way they used to communicate with each other and still have to do that today, right?

Braver than any soldier to ever serve this hate filled country.

How could people be so EVIL 😈 just because of the color of someone skin?

i ended at 46:35, making a digital bookmark

This documentary is amazing the fact that the freedom riders had the balls to go to such segregated states, get ambushed by the kkk, get harrassed and sent to prison and still be able to peacefully protest and use the power of positivity is truly a blessing

I t is really sad How could people be so EVIL just because of the color of someone skin?

🎵Oooh, freedom.oooh, freedom.🎵 OH, sorry!😹🙃😅🙊😹🙃😅🙊😹🙃😅 🙊😹 54:21

They kept coming

No wonder Zartan says that nothing gets done

Happy anniversary oporation freedom

Somebody give the summarized version of it

I'll bet a lot of peoples souls went straight down

I'll always remember reading Malcolm's X's autobiography where he gave his take on the Freedom Rider movement in which he bluntly called it "ridiculous." He said that the North where these riders emanated from had enough problems with impoverished conditions and unemployment to keep these riders busy at home. He also went on to say that at least in the South Blacks where dealing with an honest and straightforward White man who told them right out that he didn't believe in shallow integration and wanted no parts of the Negro and didn't want them to mix with his own. He said that if he was a a rabbit in a forest that it was better to confront the snarling wolf who let you know directly what his intentions were than the sly two-faced fox who would have eaten you in half before you knew what was going on. I thought he was right.

I’m only 6 minutes into this video, I can feel my blood pressure rising. We must learn so our children can live in a better world.

The killer

We need to gather all MAGA supporters and Re-Educate MAGA individuals 😊

I can barely hear it

Did The NAACP Have To Pay For The Damage Done To The Bus

Uuuuuuh... why the hell is that guy in the middle holding himself? THAT'S F***ING INAPPROPRIATE!😮🙈🙀😾 47:41

I love how the racist line hasn't changed an inch. All the pro segregation talking points sound exactly like Tucker Carlson and Trump. Dehumanize the other, Fear monger about the other, incite violence against the other.

10:00, 18:30, 27:20, 28:50, 31:10, 32:20,

The History Make America Great Again doesn't want taught.

All were evil alllllllll

Even "Martin Luther King" didn't endorse this "Freedom Ride " nonsense, but then, he turned out to be a coward. .

Da busses were full of grape soda cans and empty Henny bottles

The thing that most people outside of the south will never understand is the issue of segregation and the resistance to it for the average majority of southerners wasnt because of hate. Never was. The idea that you would force your ideas on a large portion of the country that was in of itself basically another country and they would just roll over and accept it is naive at best and downright idiotic at worst. Now im not saying it wasnt all about hate because the kkk was a thing and we all know the basis with them. But as a southerner, you would have to understand that you basically had a group of people saying your whole way of life your whole world as you knew it and had known it all your life for the past 100 plus years was wrong and you were a horrible person for living that way. It would be absolute lunacy to believe there wouldnt be resistance to that. Its like if you went to the north and started demanding they stop drinking any soda except coke and that any other soda was a crime and they were horrible people for ever thinking anything other than coke was acceptable. Its the same mindset. Now obviously its a little different, soda vs segregation and the example may be extreme, but you cannot judge the people of the south unless you first put yourself in their shoes to understand WHY there was such resistance in the first place. Now im not defending the violence at all. It was and is unacceptable and there is no time or place for that. However, some of the people in the video are correct. Its ridiculous that people from up north came down south to stir up the hornets nest intentionally. I mean thats asking for violence. Thats the same as me and a bunch of friends going up north to intentionally move into an all black neighbourhood and start painting gay pride flags everywhere and demanding they accommodate us as white gay people and expect not to get harrassed when we call them porch monkeys or something of the like. Same thing but reversed. Again, you cannot judge the south untill you put yourself in their shoes. ANY group of people in the same situation would have acted the same way, minus the kkk nonsense.

Sounds like the republican party these days .

The kkk stands for the kool kids klan

My granddad herbert young was apart of this
