What was the purpose of the Freedom Rides organized by CORE and SNCC? Select TWO correct answers. A. To protest segregated lunch counters B. To challenge segregation on interstate buses and in bus terminals C To march for voting rights in Selma, Alabama D To boycott segregated public schools E. To test the enforcement of Supreme Court rulings on desegregation

## Step 1<br />The Freedom Rides were a series of political protests against segregation on interstate buses and bus terminals in the southern United States. These protests were organized by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The Freedom Rides were not organized to protest segregated lunch counters, march for voting rights in Selma, Alabama, or boycott segregated public schools. These options are not correct because the Freedom Rides were specifically focused on the issue of segregation on interstate buses and bus terminals.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The Freedom Rides were organized to test the enforcement of Supreme Court rulings on desegregation. This is correct because the Supreme Court had ruled that segregation on interstate buses and bus terminals was unconstitutional, and the Freedom Rides were organized to test whether these rulings were being enforced.
