Answer:

The first Freedom Ride took place on May 4, 1961; seven blacks and six whites left Washington, D.C., on two public buses bound for the Deep South. The ride aimed to test the Supreme Court's ruling in Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which declared segregation in interstate bus and rail stations unconstitutional
