Answer:

Journey of Reconciliation was the name of the first route that started the Freedom Rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Freedom Rides were a form of non-violent direction action. The ride was taken by Bayard Rustin and 18 others on April 9, 1947 from Washington D.C. to North Carolina.

The ride was a challenge to the segragation laws imposed in America. The First Freedom Ride also inspired Freedom rides during the Civil Rights Movement in 1961.

Therefore, the name of the first route was 'Journet of Reconciliation.'
