“The plan . . . was simplicity itself. In any sane, even half-civilized society it would have been completely innocuous, hardly worth a second thought or meriting any comment at all. CORE, which means Congress of Racial Equality, would be sending an integrated team—black and white together—from the nation’s capital to New Orleans on public transportation. That’s all. Except, of course, that they would sit randomly on the buses in integrated pairs and in the stations they would use waiting room facilities, casually, ignoring the white/colored signs. What could be more harmless . . . in any even marginally healthy society?” a statement made by Stokely Carmichael of the Freedom Riders. Little did he know, what truly lay ahead.
