On May 14, 1961, Freedom Riders were attacked by armed mobs of Klansmen and other terrorists in Anniston and Birmingham, Ala. The brutal beatings and a firebombing of the Anniston-bound bus by the Ku Klux Klan had the support of local law enforcement and politicians. #civilrights pic.twitter.com/qaTqFDLQMP
