(Explain your reasoning in 4-5 sentences) (8 pts) 10 I think that the impact on this event had on the civil rights movement because it was part of the Civil Rights Movement. Also because the freedom riders tried to change the Civil Rights Movemnet because the blacks were tired of having to sit near the front or in the back. The whites probably were tired of sitting in the front seats everyday and they did this with the blacks to end segregation. Also blacks and whites joined together so they could tell the congress people that they wanna be together and not be seperated. This has to do alot with the Civil Rights Movement because they to alot of things to change the law of segregation. Three Images (3 pts)
