Solution
The new form of protest started by James Farmer and CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) in 1961 was A. Freedom rides through the South. This was a significant event in the Civil Rights Movement where both black and white activists rode interstate buses into the segregated southern United States to challenge the non-enforcement of the United States Supreme Court decisions which had ruled segregated public buses unconstitutional. The Southern states had ignored the rulings and the federal government did nothing to enforce them. The first Freedom Ride left Washington D.C. on May 4, 1961, and was scheduled to arrive in New Orleans on May 17.
