Question 2: Similarities Between Michael Brown and Freedom Riders

2. What connection does this case study have to historical or fictional social justice movements we studied in class? How is it similar OR different? (1 paragraph)

The death of Michael Brown connects to the Martin Luther King civil rights movement because racism is still a problem. The Freedom Riders is a group of black students that rode the bus to protest interstate travel laws. In the article ‘’Freedom Rides’’ by History Staff, during the traveling, "The  group encountered tremendous violence from white protesters along the route". In other words, the violence for the blacks was huge obstacle to move forward from being used. This demonstrates that Michael Brown and the Freedom Riders are similar because they both faced racism and police brutality.
