This is true. I didn’t think of that but the Freedom riders did not blow themselves up but peacefully protested. In fact it would be hard to find a group of people protesting peacefully and patiently for so long as black Americans. Have you seen the photo of the black female American protestors with nooses around their necks in 1946 in front of the White House? Or knew the first anti-lynching bill was introduced in 1900 by the last black American congressman voted into office in the 1800 before he left office? Thanks for bringing that up.
