John Lewis: Journey as a Freedom Rider

The video discusses John Lewis's involvement in the civil rights movement, focusing on his role as a Freedom Rider. In 1960, the Supreme Court ruled segregation in interstate transportation unconstitutional, but change was slow in the South. In 1961, Lewis and other Freedom Riders challenged segregation by traveling through the South, facing violence and arrest. Despite these challenges, their efforts contributed to the eventual prohibition of segregation in interstate bus terminals. The video concludes with a review and quiz on the discussed events.
