Question

which statement best describes what the freedom rides and the albany movement were?
a. they were code names used by the u.s. military to handle civil rights protestors if they became too violent.
b. they were ideas that the federal government had in order to end segregation.
c. they were activities used by core and sncc to test and protest segregation.
d. they were activities that southerners used to keep black people segregated from white people.

Explanation:

The Freedom Rides were organized by CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) to test desegregation laws on interstate travel, with SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) later joining. The Albany Movement was a desegregation campaign led by local activists and supported by SNCC, CORE, and the SCLC, focused on ending segregation in Albany, Georgia. These were grassroots civil rights activities to protest and challenge segregation, not military code names, federal government ideas, or segregation-enforcing actions.

Answer:

C. They were activities used by CORE and SNCC to test and protest segregation.
