Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) In 1960, the Supreme Court ruled in Boyn-
ton v. Virginia that segregated bus and rail stations 
were unconstitutional. 
(2) The rigid system of racial segregation that 
prevailed in the United States during the 1960s did 
not permit a Black person to sit next to a White 
person on any bus traveling through interstate com-
merce and in most locations in the South. Bus sta-
tions had ‘‘Whites Only’’ waiting areas and Blacks 
were not permitted to wait in those areas despite the 
Supreme Court making it the law of the land. 
(3) The Freedom Riders, with the intent to end 
segregation in public transportation throughout the 
South, paved the way for full racial integration of 
the United States transit system. They overcame 
prejudice, discrimination, and violence. They sparked 
a movement that changed our Nation. 
(4) The Congress of Racial Equality (C.O.R.E.) 
selected thirteen volunteers for nonviolent response 
training to join in the Freedom Rides from Wash-
ington, DC, to New Orleans, LA. The Freedom Rid-
