Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The purpose of the "freedom rides" was to challenge segregation on interstate buses and bus terminals in the Southern United States. Civil rights activists, both black and white, organized these rides in order to draw attention to the fact that African Americans were still being denied their constitutional rights to sit wherever they pleased on public transportation. The freedom rides were a form of nonviolent protest to bring about change and challenge the status quo of racial segregation.
